Any help with this problem I have would be so much appreciated, i've been going round in circles and have no idea what I'm really doing.



I have the problem:




  • Find all local maximum and minimum points of the function $f = xy$.


I've done the first derivative to get $$f' = 1(frac{dy}{dx})$$



But I have no clue on how to find the local max and min from this.
Any help would be grateful.



Thank you.

          $begingroup$

          The local extrema of a function occur at stationary points, i.e. where the function's total derivative is $0$. In terms of partial derivatives, if the function has continuous partial derivatives (which this one does), this is equivalent to the partial derivatives both being $0$ at the point.



          Partially differentiating, we have
          begin{align*}
          f_x &= y \
          f_y &= x.
          end{align*}

          These are both $0$ only at $(x, y) = (0, 0)$.



          However, this stationary point is neither a local minimum nor maximum. Consider, for $t in Bbb{R} setminus {0}$,
          begin{align*}
          f(t, t) &= t^2 > 0 = f(0, 0) \
          f(t, -t) &= -t^2 < 0 = f(0, 0).
          end{align*}

          That is, there are points as close as you want to $(0, 0)$ that have greater and lesser function values than $f(0, 0) = 0$.
