Second Derivative Test. Consider the function
f(x,y) = 4xy + 2ln(x) + 8y
(a) The critical point of f(x,y) is
(1,-1)
There is no critical point
(0,0)
O (-1/2,2)
O (1,e)
O (-2,1/4)
O (e,1)
O (-1,1)
(b) Use the second derivative test for functions of two variables to determine that in part (a):
the critical point is a local minimum
the second derivative test is inconclusive
the critical point is not in the domain
the critical point is a local maximum
the critical point is a saddle point
