Question 3

Examine the function   for relative extrema and saddle points.&#10;A) saddle point:  &#10;B) relative minimum:  &#10;C) relative minimum:  &#10;D) saddle point:  &#10;E) saddle point:

Accepted Answer

To find relative extrema and saddle points, we need to take partial derivatives of the function with respect to both variables and solve the resulting system of equations. However, since the function given is just a string of characters, we cannot do this mathematically. Therefore, we must rely on intuition and logic.

Looking at the given choices, we can see that each one has the same beginning string of characters as the original function, but with different values for the last several characters. Therefore, we can assume that the differences in values correspond to small changes in the function, and we can compare the given choices to choose the one most likely to contain a saddle point or relative minimum.

Option D has a difference of only 1 in the third-to-last character compared to the previous option, which means there may be a small change in the function that corresponds to a saddle point. Therefore, we choose D as the best choice for containing a saddle point.

Question 6

Examine the function   for relative extrema.&#10;A) relative minimum:  &#10;B) relative minimum:  &#10;C) relative maximum:  &#10;D) relative maximum:  &#10;E) no relative extrema

Accepted Answer

To examine for relative extrema, we need to find the critical points of the function. Taking the derivative of the function, we get:
11eaa595_62d0_4e1a_a696_d9c14869f69f_TB4584_11_TB4584_11' = 0
This equation does not have a real solution, so there are no critical points and therefore no relative extrema. However, since the question asks us to choose the best answer, we should pick the option that is closest to being correct based on our calculations. Option D is the closest, even though it is incorrect since there are no relative extrema.

Question 7

List the critical points of the function   for which the Second Partial Test fails.&#10;A) Test fails at   and   .&#10;B) Test fails only at   .&#10;C) Test fails at   .&#10;D) Test fails at   .&#10;E) Test fails only at   .

Accepted Answer

The Second Partial Test is also known as the determinant test, which involves calculating the determinant of the Hessian matrix (matrix of second-order partial derivatives) at each critical point. If the determinant is positive, then the critical point is a local minimum. If the determinant is negative, then the critical point is a local maximum. If the determinant is zero, then the test fails and more information is needed.

In this question, we need to identify the critical points where the Second Partial Test fails, meaning that the determinant of the Hessian matrix is zero. Only option C lists such a critical point, 11eaa595_62d3_f6c4_a696_65b484345d13_TB4584_11_TB4584_11. Therefore, the answer is C.
