Question

Find the local maximum and minimum values and saddle point(s) of the function. If you have three - dimensional graphing software, graph the function with a domain and viewpoint that reveal all the important aspects of the function.

f(x,y)=x33x+3xy2f(x, y) = x^3 - 3x + 3xy^2

We can find the local extrema using the Second Derivatives Test from the section. Note that

f(x,y)=x33x+3xy2f(x,y)=x^3-3x+3xy^2

is a polynomial function (in 2 variables) and hence is continuous everywhere in its domain. Thus the theorem applies.
