Hey I was wondering if anyone can tell me if i am doing this right.
f(x,y) = xy^2 ; R is the circular disk x^2+y^2<=3
So first i took the gradient, since I know a mix/min can exist if the gradient is equal to 0.
Gradient of X= y^s
Gradient of Y= 2xy
So the point (0,0) can be considered right?
Anyway, I know I have to test region edges, so I parameterized the equation.
r(t) = <radical 3 cos(t),radical 3 sin(t)>
i plugged those values of x and y into my equation , and then took the derivative.
After some simplification, I came up with
sin(t)(3*radical3*cos(t)^2-3*radical3)
t= 0, pi, pi/2, 3pi/2 (right?)
so i found the x and y value when t is equal to those values
in conclusion, i have these points.
(0,0)
(0,radical3)
(0,-radical3)
(radical3,0)
(-radical3,0)
I tested these values in the equation xy^2 = f(x,y)
and found that there is no max or min...i don't think this is right.
Can someone help me find my mistake?
