Question

Let f (x, y) = y^2x − yx^2 + xy.

 (a) Show that the critical points (x, y) satisfy the equations y(y − 2x + 1) = 0, x(2y − x + 1) = 0

 (b) Show that f has three critical points where x = 0 or y = 0 (or both) and one critical point where x and y are nonzero.

 (c) Use the Second Derivative Test to determine the nature of the critical points.
