Homework Statement
So the test is to take the determinant (D) of the Hessian matrix of your multivar function.
Then if D>0 & fxx>0 it's a min point, if D>0 & fxx<0 it's a max point.
For D<0 it's a saddle point, and D=0 gives no information.
My question is, what happens if fxx=0? Is that equivalent to D=0?
