The function
f ( x , y ) = x 3 + 27 x y 2 − 27 x
has partial derivatives given by
f x = 3 x 2 + 27 y 2 − 27,
f y = 54 x y,
f x x = 6 x,
f y y = 54 x,
f x y = 54 y, and
f y x = 54 y,
AND has as a critical point. (You need NOT check this.)
Use the second derivative test to classify the point :
A.None of the other answers
B.Local maximum
C.Saddle point
D.Local minimum
