Math 208 Second derivative test additional problems Find and classify (as local maxima, local minima, or saddle points) the critical points of the following functions.

2 2 2 f ( , x y ) = 8 x + 4 x y + y − 7

2 2 f ( , x y ) = yx − 2 y x + 2 xy

3 4 2 f ( , x y ) = 4 yy + 8 xy − 2 x

(^2 2 ) ( , ) 9 xy f x y = x + y

Answers:

  1. Local min at (0,0), saddle points at (1,!2) and (!1,!2).
  2. Saddle points at (0,0), (0,1) and (!2,0); local min at (!b ,a).
  3. Saddle point at (0,0), local max at (!2,!1) and at (8,4).
  4. Local mins at (1,!3) and (!1,3).
