To classify the critical points of the function and determine its extreme values, let’s proceed with the following steps:

Given Function:

$f(x, y) = 3x^2y + y^3 - 3x^2 - 3y^2 + 2$

Step 1: Find Partial Derivatives

1. Compute $f_x$, the partial derivative with respect to $x$.
2. Compute $f_y$, the partial derivative with respect to $y$.

Partial Derivative with respect to $x$:

$f_x = \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (3x^2y + y^3 - 3x^2 - 3y^2 + 2) = 6xy - 6x$

Partial Derivative with respect to $y$:

$f_y = \frac{\partial}{\partial y} (3x^2y + y^3 - 3x^2 - 3y^2 + 2) = 3x^2 + 3y^2 - 6y$

Step 2: Set Partial Derivatives to Zero

To find the critical points, set $f_x = 0$ and $f_y = 0$:

1. From $f_x = 6xy - 6x = 0$: $6x(y - 1) = 0$ This gives two cases:

   • $x = 0$
   • $y = 1$

2. From $f_y = 3x^2 + 3y^2 - 6y = 0$: Simplifying, we get: $x^2 + y^2 - 2y = 0$ Completing the square for $y$: $x^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 1$ This represents a circle centered at $(0, 1)$ with radius 1.

Step 3: Solve for Critical Points

Using the two cases from $f_x = 0$:

1. Case $x = 0$:

   • Substituting $x = 0$ in $x^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 1$, we get: $(y - 1)^2 = 1$ So, $y = 2$ or $y = 0$.

   Therefore, we have two critical points: $(0, 2)$ and $(0, 0)$.

2. Case $y = 1$:

   • Substituting $y = 1$ in $x^2 + (1 - 1)^2 = 1$, we get: $x^2 = 1$ So, $x = 1$ or $x = -1$.

   Therefore, we have two additional critical points: $(1, 1)$ and $(-1, 1)$.

Summary of Critical Points

The critical points are: $(0, 2), (0, 0), (1, 1), (-1, 1)$

Step 4: Classify Critical Points Using the Second Derivative Test

To classify these points, we calculate the second-order partial derivatives and use the Hessian matrix.

1. Second-Order Partial Derivatives:

   • $f_{xx} = \frac{\partial}{\partial x}(6xy - 6x) = 6y - 6$
   • $f_{yy} = \frac{\partial}{\partial y}(3x^2 + 3y^2 - 6y) = 6y - 6$
   • $f_{xy} = \frac{\partial}{\partial y}(6xy - 6x) = 6x$

2. Hessian Determinant $D(x, y)$: The Hessian determinant is given by: $D(x, y) = f_{xx} f_{yy} - (f_{xy})^2$

Evaluating $D(x, y)$ at each critical point and using the second derivative test will allow us to classify each point as a local minimum, maximum, or saddle point.
