submitted: (correct)
By looking at the contour plot, characterize the two critical points
recorded: (correct)
of the function . You should be able to do this analysis without
computing derivatives, but you may want to compute them to cor-
roborate your intuition.

The critical point (1,1) is a

• ???
• local minimum
• local maximum
• saddle point
• cannot be determined
(choose one from the list).

The second critical point is at the point , and it is a

• ???
• local minimum
• local maximum
• saddle point
• cannot be determined
.
