Extrema for Multivariate Functions

This sage worksheet takes a given multivariate function and compute various derivatives, critical points and the other stuff necessary to locate critical points and aid in describing any possible extreme values.  Students using this for preparing homework should copy the results of each cell into a word processor and prepare a report with all conclusions.  In other words, let Sage do the calculus and the student do the interpretation/application.  If pasting formulas into a Word document, the formulas might look funny.  That's ok.

Don't forget to get a nice perspective on your surface with all the points plotted (at the bottom) before pasting it into your document.

%auto # To start things off, enter the function f that you want to use. var('x,y') # f = x^2 - 3*x*y - y^2 # f = x^2*y+y^3-12*y # f = 2*x^3-3*x^2*y+3*x^2-y^3+3*y-4 # f = y^3-3*y*x^2-3*y^2-3*x^2+1 # f = x*sin(y) # this one has infinitely many critical points so the solver has fits # f = (1/2-x^3+y^2)*e^(1-x^2-y^2) f = (12*x*y-3/2*x^2*y^2)/(2*x+2*y) # this one has issues with d show(f)

(Be certain to evaluate each cell--in order--from the top.  The results from each active cell should print below the cell.)
