Q2) (b) 

Discuss the Maxima and Minima of the function 3x2-y2+x3.

Here,f(x,y)=3x2-y2+x3.

Now,

∂f∂x=∂∂x3x2-y2+x3

∂f∂x=∂∂x3x2-∂∂xy2+∂∂xx3

∂f∂x=6x-0+3x2

∂f∂x=6x+3x2

∂f∂y=∂∂y3x2-y2+x3

∂f∂y=∂∂y3x2-∂∂yy2+∂∂yx3

∂f∂y=0-2y+0

∂f∂y=-2y

For, Stationary point,

∂f∂x=0

⟹6x+3x2=0

⟹3x(2+x)=0

⟹3x=0    OR    2+x=0

⟹x=0      OR    x=-2

∂f∂y=0

⟹-2y=0

⟹y=0

Hence, Stationary points are (0,0)  & (-2,0).

Now,

r=∂2f∂x2

r=∂∂x∂f∂x

r=∂∂x6x+3x2

r=∂∂x6x+∂∂x3x2

r=6+6x

s=∂2f∂x∂y

s=∂∂x∂f∂y

s=∂∂x-2y

s=0

t=∂2f∂y2

t=∂∂y∂f∂y

s=∂∂y-2y

s=-2

Point r=6+6x s=0 r=-2 rt-s2 Conclusion
