 Page 7 / 10

Key concepts

• A critical point of the function $f\left(x,y\right)$ is any point $\left({x}_{0},{y}_{0}\right)$ where either ${f}_{x}\left({x}_{0},{y}_{0}\right)={f}_{y}\left({x}_{0},{y}_{0}\right)=0,$ or at least one of ${f}_{x}\left({x}_{0},{y}_{0}\right)$ and ${f}_{y}\left({x}_{0},{y}_{0}\right)$ do not exist.
• A saddle point is a point $\left({x}_{0},{y}_{0}\right)$ where ${f}_{x}\left({x}_{0},{y}_{0}\right)={f}_{y}\left({x}_{0},{y}_{0}\right)=0,$ but $\left({x}_{0},{y}_{0}\right)$ is neither a maximum nor a minimum at that point.
• To find extrema of functions of two variables, first find the critical points, then calculate the discriminant and apply the second derivative test.

Key equations

• Discriminant
$D={f}_{xx}\left({x}_{0},{y}_{0}\right){f}_{yy}\left({x}_{0},{y}_{0}\right)-{\left({f}_{xy}\left({x}_{0},{y}_{0}\right)\right)}^{2}$

For the following exercises, find all critical points.

$f\left(x,y\right)=1+{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}$

$f\left(x,y\right)={\left(3x-2\right)}^{2}+{\left(y-4\right)}^{2}$

$\left(\frac{2}{3},4\right)$

$f\left(x,y\right)={x}^{4}+{y}^{4}-16xy$

$f\left(x,y\right)=15{x}^{3}-3xy+15{y}^{3}$

$\left(0,0\right)$ $\left(\frac{1}{15},\frac{1}{15}\right)$

For the following exercises, find the critical points of the function by using algebraic techniques (completing the square) or by examining the form of the equation. Verify your results using the partial derivatives test.

$f\left(x,y\right)=\sqrt{{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}+1}$

$f\left(x,y\right)=\text{−}{x}^{2}-5{y}^{2}+8x-10y-13$

Maximum at $\left(4,-1,8\right)$

$f\left(x,y\right)={x}^{2}+{y}^{2}+2x-6y+6$

$f\left(x,y\right)=\sqrt{{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}}+1$

Relative minimum at $\left(0,0,1\right)$

For the following exercises, use the second derivative test to identify any critical points and determine whether each critical point is a maximum, minimum, saddle point, or none of these.

$f\left(x,y\right)=\text{−}{x}^{3}+4xy-2{y}^{2}+1$

$f\left(x,y\right)={x}^{2}{y}^{2}$

The second derivative test fails. Since ${x}^{2}{y}^{2}>0$ for all x and y different from zero, and ${x}^{2}{y}^{2}=0$ when either x or y equals zero (or both), then the absolute minimum occurs at $\left(0,0\right).$

$f\left(x,y\right)={x}^{2}-6x+{y}^{2}+4y-8$

$f\left(x,y\right)=2xy+3x+4y$

$f\left(-2,-\frac{3}{2}\right)=-6$ is a saddle point.

$f\left(x,y\right)=8xy\left(x+y\right)+7$

$f\left(x,y\right)={x}^{2}+4xy+{y}^{2}$

$f\left(0,0\right)=0;$ $\left(0,0,0\right)$ is a saddle point.

$f\left(x,y\right)={x}^{3}+{y}^{3}-300x-75y-3$

$f\left(x,y\right)=9-{x}^{4}{y}^{4}$

$f\left(0,0\right)=9$ is a local maximum.

$f\left(x,y\right)=7{x}^{2}y+9x{y}^{2}$

$f\left(x,y\right)=3{x}^{2}-2xy+{y}^{2}-8y$

Relative minimum located at $\left(2,6\right).$

$f\left(x,y\right)=3{x}^{2}+2xy+{y}^{2}$

$f\left(x,y\right)={y}^{2}+xy+3y+2x+3$

$\left(1,-2\right)$ is a saddle point.

$f\left(x,y\right)={x}^{2}+xy+{y}^{2}-3x$

$f\left(x,y\right)={x}^{2}+2{y}^{2}-{x}^{2}y$

$\left(2,1\right)$ and $\left(-2,1\right)$ are saddle points; $\left(0,0\right)$ is a relative minimum.

$f\left(x,y\right)={x}^{2}+y-{e}^{y}$

$f\left(x,y\right)={e}^{\text{−}\left({x}^{2}+{y}^{2}+2x\right)}$

$\left(-1,0\right)$ is a relative maximum.

$f\left(x,y\right)={x}^{2}+xy+{y}^{2}-x-y+1$

$f\left(x,y\right)={x}^{2}+10xy+{y}^{2}$

$\left(0,0\right)$ is a saddle point.

$f\left(x,y\right)=\text{−}{x}^{2}-5{y}^{2}+10x-30y-62$

$f\left(x,y\right)=120x+120y-xy-{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}$

The relative maximum is at $\left(40,40\right).$

$f\left(x,y\right)=2{x}^{2}+2xy+{y}^{2}+2x-3$

$f\left(x,y\right)={x}^{2}+x-3xy+{y}^{3}-5$

$\left(\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{2}\right)$ is a saddle point and $\left(1,1\right)$ is the relative minimum.

$f\left(x,y\right)=2xy{e}^{\text{−}{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}}$

For the following exercises, determine the extreme values and the saddle points. Use a CAS to graph the function.

[T] $f\left(x,y\right)=y{e}^{x}-{e}^{y}$

A saddle point is located at $\left(0,0\right).$

[T] $f\left(x,y\right)=x\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\text{sin}\left(y\right)$

[T] $f\left(x,y\right)=\text{sin}\left(x\right)\text{sin}\left(y\right),x\in \left(0,2\pi \right),y\in \left(0,2\pi \right)$

Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of $f\left(x,y\right)={x}^{2}+{y}^{2}-2y+1$ on the region $R=\left\{\left(x,y\right)|{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}\le 4\right\}.$

$\left(0,1,0\right)$ is the absolute minimum and $\left(0,-2,9\right)$ is the absolute maximum.

$f\left(x,y\right)={x}^{3}-3xy-{y}^{3}$ on $R=\left\{\left(x,y\right)\text{:}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}-2\le x\le 2,-2\le y\le 2\right\}$

$f\left(x,y\right)=\frac{-2y}{{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}+1}$ on $R=\left\{\left(x,y\right)\text{:}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}\le 4\right\}$

I know this work

The given of f(x=x-2. then what is the value of this f(3) 5f(x+1)
hmm well what is the answer
Abhi
how do they get the third part x = (32)5/4
can someone help me with some logarithmic and exponential equations.
20/(×-6^2)
Salomon
okay, so you have 6 raised to the power of 2. what is that part of your answer
I don't understand what the A with approx sign and the boxed x mean
it think it's written 20/(X-6)^2 so it's 20 divided by X-6 squared
Salomon
I'm not sure why it wrote it the other way
Salomon
I got X =-6
Salomon
ok. so take the square root of both sides, now you have plus or minus the square root of 20= x-6
oops. ignore that.
so you not have an equal sign anywhere in the original equation?
hmm
Abhi
is it a question of log
Abhi
🤔.
Abhi
I rally confuse this number And equations too I need exactly help
salma
But this is not salma it's Faiza live in lousvile Ky I garbage this so I am going collage with JCTC that the of the collage thank you my friends

what is a good calculator for all algebra; would a Casio fx 260 work with all algebra equations? please name the cheapest, thanks.
a perfect square v²+2v+_
kkk nice
algebra 2 Inequalities:If equation 2 = 0 it is an open set?
or infinite solutions?
Kim
The answer is neither. The function, 2 = 0 cannot exist. Hence, the function is undefined.

what is system testing?
preparation of nanomaterial
Yes, Nanotechnology has a very fast field of applications and their is always something new to do with it...
what is system testing
what is the application of nanotechnology?

In this morden time nanotechnology used in many field . 1-Electronics-manufacturad IC ,RAM,MRAM,solar panel etc 2-Helth and Medical-Nanomedicine,Drug Dilivery for cancer treatment etc 3- Atomobile -MEMS, Coating on car etc. and may other field for details you can check at Google
Azam
anybody can imagine what will be happen after 100 years from now in nano tech world
Prasenjit
after 100 year this will be not nanotechnology maybe this technology name will be change . maybe aftet 100 year . we work on electron lable practically about its properties and behaviour by the different instruments
Azam
name doesn't matter , whatever it will be change... I'm taking about effect on circumstances of the microscopic world
Prasenjit
how hard could it be to apply nanotechnology against viral infections such HIV or Ebola?
Damian
silver nanoparticles could handle the job?
Damian
not now but maybe in future only AgNP maybe any other nanomaterials
Azam
Hello
Uday
I'm interested in Nanotube
Uday
this technology will not going on for the long time , so I'm thinking about femtotechnology 10^-15
Prasenjit
can nanotechnology change the direction of the face of the world
At high concentrations (>0.01 M), the relation between absorptivity coefficient and absorbance is no longer linear. This is due to the electrostatic interactions between the quantum dots in close proximity. If the concentration of the solution is high, another effect that is seen is the scattering of light from the large number of quantum dots. This assumption only works at low concentrations of the analyte. Presence of stray light.
the Beer law works very well for dilute solutions but fails for very high concentrations. why?
how did you get the value of 2000N.What calculations are needed to arrive at it
