Let f(x, y) = x^ 2 + kxy + 4y^ 2 , k a constant. The point (0, 0) is a stationary point of f. For what values of k will f have a local minimum at (0, 0)?
(a) |k| > 4
(b) k ≥ −4
(c) k ≤ 4
(d) |k| < 4
(e) none of the above
The point P : (2, 2) is a stationary point of the function f(x, y) = 6xy − x ^3 − y^ 3 . f has (a) a local maximum at P (b) a local minimum at P (c) a saddle point at P (d) a discontinuity at P (e) none of the above
