Math Problem Statement

Based on the information given solve the questions below

Consider the function e^{-(x^{2}+y^{2})}(x^{2}+2y^{2})

Q2) How many critical points does f have = 5 critical points, (−1,0), (0,−1), (0,0), (0,1) (1,0).

Q3) Now consider f defined on the domain x^2+y^2≤4 . Determine the absolute maximum and minimum values of f on this domain. Note: e^5 would be entered as exp(5) into the answer box.

Value of absolute maximum = 2exp(-1)

Value of absolute minimum = 0

Question that needs to be answered is below

Q4) Based on Question 3, which of the following options is correct?

Select one:

a. Neither of the absolute max and min values of f occur on the boundary.

b. Only the absolute min of f occurs on the boundary.

c. Both the absolute max and min values of f occur on the boundary.

d. Only the absolute max of f occurs on the boundary.
