Let f(x,y) = x3 - 12xy + 8y3.
a. Find the following quantities
i. fx =
ii. fy =
iii. fxx =
iv. fxy =
v. fyy =
b. Solve fx = 0, fy = 0 for critical point (x, y).
c. Use the second derivative test to determine the critical points in (b) are local maximum oi minimum or saddle points.
2. Use Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimum values of the function f(x,y,z) = 2x + 2y+ z subject to x2 + y2 +z2 = 9.
