For F1(x,y) = 1 4 x 4 + x 2 y + y 2 and F2(x,y) = x 3 + xy x, find the second derivative matrices A1 and A2: A = " 2F/ x 2 2F/ x y 2F/ y x 2F/ y 2 # . A1 is positive definite, so F1 is concave up (= convex). Find the minimum point of F1 and the saddle point of F2 (look where first derivatives are zero).
