Question
For the function of two variables, f (x, y) = x3 − y2 + 9xy + 5. Find the critical points and determine their nature to complete the following sentences (making sure you use at least 3 decimal places in your answer): • the left-most stationary point (the one with the lower value of x) is located at x = and y = and is a point. • the right-most stationary point (the one with the higher value of x) is located at x = and y = and is a point
Solution
To find the critical points of the function f(x, y) = x³ - y² + 9xy + 5, we first need to find the partial derivatives of the function with respect to x and y.
The partial derivative of f with respect to x is f_x = 3x² + 9y. The partial derivative of f with respect to y is f_y = -2y + 9x.
Setting these equal to zero gives us the system of equations:
3x² + 9y = 0, -2y + 9x = 0.
Solving this system of equations gives us the critical points.
From the second equation, we can express y in terms of x: y = 4.5x. Substituting this into the first equation gives us 3x² + 9*4.5x = 0, which simplifies to 3x² + 40.5x = 0. This can be factored to 3x(x + 13.5) = 0, giving us the solutions x = 0 and x = -13.5.
Substituting these values back into y = 4.5x gives us the corresponding y-values: y = 0 and y = -60.75.
So, the critical points are (0, 0) and (-13.5, -60.75).
To determine the nature of these points, we need to find the second partial derivatives of f:
f_xx = 6x, f_yy = -2, f_xy = f_yx = 9.
The determinant of the Hessian matrix, D = f_xx*f_yy - (f_xy)², will tell us the nature of the points. If D > 0 and f_xx > 0, the point is a local minimum. If D > 0 and f_xx < 0, the point is a local maximum. If D < 0, the point is a saddle point.
For the point (0, 0), D = 60(-2) - (9)² = -81 < 0, so this point is a saddle point.
For the point (-13.5, -60.75), D = 6*(-13.5)(-2) - (9)² = 162 - 81 = 81 > 0, and f_xx = 6(-13.5) < 0, so this point is a local maximum.
So, to complete the sentences:
• the left-most stationary point (the one with the lower value of x) is located at x = -13.5 and y = -60.75 and is a local maximum point. • the right-most stationary point (the one with the higher value of x) is located at x = 0 and y = 0 and is a saddle point.
