WeBWorK assignment number T1 Review is due : 02/27/2012 at 09:56am MST.

Give 4 or 5 significant digits for (floating point) numerical answers. For most problems when entering numerical answers,
you can if you wish enter elementary expressions such as 2 ^ 3 instead of 8, sin(3 pi/2)instead of -1, e ^ (ln(2)) instead of 2,
(2 + tan(3)) (4 sin(5)) ^ 6 7/8 instead of 27620.3413, etc. Heres the list of the functions which WeBWorK understands.

10. (1 pt) Suppose f (x, y) = xy(1 2x 10y).

f (x, y) has 4 critical points. List them in increasing lexographic
order. By that we mean that (x, y) comes before (z, w) if x < z
or if x = z and y < w. Also, describe the type of critical point by
typing MA if it is a local maximum, MI if it is a local minimim,
and S if it is a saddle point.
First point ( ,
