Critical Points and Extrema Analysis

The document presents two functions, f(x, y) and T(x, y), analyzing their critical points and local extrema. For f(x, y), a saddle point is identified at (1/4, 1/2) with absolute maximum and minimum values at (1,0) and (0,0) respectively. For T(x, y), a local minimum occurs at (1/2, 0) and absolute maximum and minimum values are found at (-2, 2) and (2, 0) respectively.

1.

f ( x, y ) = 4 x − 8 xy + 2 y + 1

a)
b) Fx = 4 – 8y = 0 » y = ½
Fy = 2 - 8x =0 » x = ¼
Critical point @ ( ¼, ½ ) = 2
Fxx = 0
Fyy = 0
Fxy = -8
D = 0 – (-8)2 = -64
D < 0 and Fxx = 0, so ( ¼, ½ ) is a saddle point

c)
F(0,y) = 2y + 1
F(0,0) = 1 (local min)
F(0,1) = 3 (local max )
d)
F(x,0) = 4x + 1
F(0,0) = 1 (local min)
F(1,0) = 5 (local max)

e)
y = 1 -x
F(x, 1-x) = 8x2 - 6x + 3
F’(x, 1-x) = 16x – 6 = 0 » x = 3⁄8
F(3⁄8, 1-x) = 15⁄8 > 1
F(0,3) = 3 (local min )
F(1,0) = 5 (local max)

f) ABSOLUTE MAX » f(1,0) = 5


ABSOLUTE MIN » f(0,0) = 1

2. T ( x, y) = x 2 + 2 y 2 − x
a) Tx = 2x – 1 = 0 » x = ½
Ty = 4y = 0 » y = 0
Txx = 2
Tyy = 4
Txy = 0
D = 2*4 – 02 = 8, D > 0 and Txx > 0
T( ½,0) = - ¼ (local minimum)

b) x = cos(t)
y = sin(t)

c) T(x,y) = cos2(t) + 2sin2(t) – cos(t), 0 ≤ 𝑡 ≤ 2𝜋

d)
2
e) 𝑇(𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑥 2 + 2(√1 − 𝑥 2 ) − 𝑥 = −𝑥 2 − 𝑥 + 2
𝑑𝑇 1 2 √3
= −2𝑥 − 1 = 0 » x = − 2 » y = √1 − x = 2
𝑑𝑥
1 9
𝑇 (− ) =
2 4
1 √3 9
𝑇 (− 2 , 2 ) = 4 [ABSOLUTE MAX]
1 1
𝑇 (2 , 0) = − 4 [ABSOLUTE MIN]
