I differentiated to get

#

which is correct part i

#

however part ii

#

you have to set to zero

#

im just confused how you'd then solve for x or y,

#

4-2x = 0

silver forge
#

can you just explain why

#

please

#

ohhhh

#

because the stationary point is where the y axis doesn't change

#

so y = 0

#

right?

lament slate
#

No

#

You just solve (4-2x)/4y = 0 by multiplying both sides by 4y

modern zephyr
#

x=2

#

then find d^2y/dx^2

#

substitute in x=2

#

then if its bigger than 0 , its a minimum and if it's smaller than 0, it's a maximum point

#

local min and max
