A only2. B only3. C only correct4. A and C only5. A and B only6. all of them7. B and C only8. none of themExplanation:A. FALSE: the contours near R are closedcurves enclosing R and the contours increasein value as we approch R. So the surface hasa local maxi mum a t R, not a local minimum.lewis (scl876) – HW 14.7 – radin – (55315) 2B. FALSE: the contours near P are closedcurves enclosing P and the contours decreasein value as we approch P . So the surface hasa local minimum at P , not a local ma ximum.C. TRUE: the point Q lies on the 0-contourand in this contour divides the region near Qinto two regions. In one region the contourshave values increasing to 0, while in the otherthe contours have values decreasing to 0. Sothe surface has neither a local maximum nora local minimum at Q.keywords: contour map, local extrema,True/False,003 (part 1 of 3) 10.0 pointsIf f is defined byf(x, y) =83x3+ x2+ 4xy + 2y2+ y ,locate the critical points of f.1.14, 0,12,342.14, 0,−12,343.14, 0,12, −344.−14, 0,12,345.−14, 0,12, −34correct6.−14, 0,−12,34Explanation:After differentiationfx= 8x2+ 2x + 4y,whilefy= 4x + 4y + 1 .Thus the critical poi nts of f are the commonsolutions of the equations8x2+ 2x + 4y = 04x + 4y + 1 = 0 .Eliminati ng y we see that8x2− 2x − 1= 8x +14x −12= 0 ,the soluti ons o f which are x = −14and12.Consequently, the critical points of f occur at−14, 0,12, −34.004 (part 2 of 3) 10.0 pointsWhich of the following most accurately de-scribes the behaviour of f.1. local minimum at−14, 02. local maximum at14, 03. saddle-point at−14, 0correct4. saddle-point at14, 05. local minimum at14, 06. local maximum at−14, 0Explanation:After differentiation once again we see thatfxx= 2(8x + 1), fyy= 4, fxy= 4,and so at the critical point−14, 0,A = fxx−14, 0= −2 ,lewis (scl876) – HW 14.7 – radin – (55315) 3andC = fyy−14, 0= 4 > 0 ,whileB = fxy−14, 0= 4 .But then,AC − B2= −24 < 0 .Hence by the second derivative test, f has asaddle-point at−14, 0.005 (part 3 of 3) 10.0 pointsWhich of the following most accurately de-scribes the behaviour of f.1. saddle-point at12, −342. local ma ximum at12,343. local minimum at12, −34correct4. local minimum at−12,345. local ma ximum at12, −346. saddle-point at−12,347. local minimum at12,348. local ma ximum at−12,349. saddle-point at12,34Explanation:After differentiation once again we see thatfxx= 2 (8x + 1 ), fyy= 4, fxy= 4 ,and so at the critical point12, −34,A = fxx12, −34= 10 ,andC = fyy12, −34= 4 > 0 ,whileB = fxy12, −34= 4 .But then,AC − B2= 24 > 0 .Hence by the second derivative test, f has alocal minimum at12, −34.006 10.0 pointsLocate and classify the local extremum off whenf(x, y) = 3x +y3+1xy+ 2, (x, y > 0).1. local min at (3, 3)2. local min at13, 3correct3. saddle at (3, 3)4. local max at (3, 3)5. saddle at13, 36. local max at13, 3Explanation:lewis (scl876) – HW 14.7 – radin – (55315) 4Differentiating once we see thatfx= 3 −1x2y, fy=13−1xy2.At a local extremum these first partial deriva-tives are zero. Thus f has a local extremumat13, 3.To classify the local extremum we use thesecond derivative test. Nowfxx=2x3y, fxy=1x2y2, fyy=2xy3.But thenA = fxx13, 3= 18 > 0,C = fyy13, 3=29> 0,andB = fxy13, 3= 1.ThusAC − B2= 3 > 0.Hence by the second derivative test, f has alocal min at13, 3.007 10.0 pointsLocate and classify all the local extrema off(x, y) = 2x3+ 2y3+ 6xy −1.1. local max at (−1, −1), saddle at (0, 0)correct2. local min at (−1, −1), saddle at (0, 0)3. saddle at (−1, −1), local max at (0, 0)4. local min at (0, 0), local max at (−1, −1)5. local max at (1, 1), saddle at (0, 0)Explanation:Local extrema occur at the cri tical pointsof f. Now after differentiation of f we obtainfx= 6(x2+ y), fy= 6(y2+ x).The critical points of f are thus the commonsolutions of the equationsx2+ y = 0, y2+ x = 0.This yields only the two extremum points(−1, −1) and (0, 0). B ut after differentiatingagain we see t hatfxx= 12x, fxy= 6, fyy= 12y;consequently,fxxfyy− (fxy)2= (12)2xy − 36.Hence by the second derivative test there arelocal max at (−1, −1), saddle at (0, 0).008 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 pointsWhen f is the function defined for x, y > 0byf(x, y) = ln(xy) + 8 x2− x − xy + 4 ,locate its critical point.1. critical po int at16,142. critical po int at4, 163. critical po int at116, 44. critical po int at14,1165. critical po int at116, 16correctExplanation:lewis (scl876) – HW 14.7 – radin – (55315) 5The critical point of f is the common solu-tion of the equatio ns∂f∂x=1x+ 16x − 1 − y = 0,and∂f∂y=1y− x = 0.Thus f has acritical point at116, 16.009 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 pointsWhich of the following statements most ac-curately describes f at this criti cal point?1. local minimum value of127322. local minimum value of95323. saddle-point correct4. local ma ximum value of95325. local ma ximum value
