Mar 2, 2022 · Let us use the function $f(x,y)=x^3+5 x^2+x y^2-5 y^2$ and check wether it has critical points using level curves. In the first step, let us draw the level curves (blue) and the derivatives $\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}$ and $\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}$ (green).

Nov 16, 2022 · We say that x = c x = c is a critical point of the function f (x) f (x) if f (c) f (c) exists and if either of the following are true. f ′(c) =0 OR f ′(c) doesn't exist f ′ (c) = 0 OR f ′ (c) doesn't exist. Note that we require that f (c) f (c) exists in order for x = c x = c to actually be a critical point.
For example $f(x)=x$ has no critical points. Neither does $f(x)=e^x$. And your function has no critical points, according to many definitions. Some definitions would include endpoints among the critical points. In that case, if we consider the function as having domain $[4,7]$, you have $4$ and $7$. The function is continuous on the interval ...
Nov 16, 2022 · In this section we will give a quick review of some important topics about functions of several variables. In particular we will discuss finding the domain of a function of several variables as well as level curves, level surfaces and traces.

Let $F(x,y) = xy$. Find the critical points of F on the curve $y^2 = x^3 - x$. Thoughts: I'm aware of critical points, however I'm not sure what the question is asking when it means find the critical points of F on the curve. solving: $\nabla F(x,y) = \lambda \nabla H(x,y)$ where $H(x,y) = y^2 - x^3 +x$ I get 3 crit points
