find the critical points of optimization and whether the function is a maximum or minimum at these points.
5x^2 + 4xy + 3y^2 - 52x - 56y + 13
dz/dx = 10x + 0 + 0 - 52 - 0 + 0 = 0
10x - 52 = 0
x = 5,2
dz/dy = 0 + 0 + 6y - 0 - 56 + 0 = 0
6y - 56 = 0
y = 9,34
so, theres just one critical point then? P(5,2/9,34)?
or would it be:
(-5,2/9,34)
(5,2/-9,34)
(5,2/9,34)
(-5,2/-9,34)?
i assume its just P(5,2/9,34) ..so what I did was:
d^2z/dx^2 = 10
Zxx(5,2/9,34) = 5,2*10 = 52 > 0 Minimum
d^2z/dy^2 = 6
Zyy(5,2/9,34) = 6*9,34 = 56,04 > 0 Minimum
did i do this correctly? any help/comments will be appreciated. thanks:)
