To analyze and classify the critical points of the function $f(x,y) = e^{6x} \cos(3y)$, we need to compute the partial derivatives $f_x$, $f_y$, $f_{xx}$, $f_{xy}$, and $f_{yy}$, find where $f_x = 0$ and $f_y = 0$, and then use the second derivative test to classify the critical points.

Step 1: Compute the Partial Derivatives

1. $f_x$: $f_x = \frac{\partial}{\partial x}(e^{6x} \cos(3y)) = 6e^{6x} \cos(3y)$

2. $f_y$: $f_y = \frac{\partial}{\partial y}(e^{6x} \cos(3y)) = -3e^{6x} \sin(3y)$

3. $f_{xx}$: $f_{xx} = \frac{\partial}{\partial x}(6e^{6x} \cos(3y)) = 36e^{6x} \cos(3y)$

4. $f_{xy}$: $f_{xy} = \frac{\partial}{\partial y}(6e^{6x} \cos(3y)) = -18e^{6x} \sin(3y)$

5. $f_{yy}$: $f_{yy} = \frac{\partial}{\partial y}(-3e^{6x} \sin(3y)) = -9e^{6x} \cos(3y)$

Step 2: Find the Critical Points

To find the critical points, we need to set $f_x = 0$ and $f_y = 0$ and solve for $x$ and $y$.

1. Setting $f_x = 6e^{6x} \cos(3y) = 0$:

   • Since $e^{6x} \neq 0$ for all $x$, we must have $\cos(3y) = 0$.
   • This gives $3y = \frac{\pi}{2} + n\pi$ for $n \in \mathbb{Z}$, so $y = \frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{n\pi}{3}$.

2. Setting $f_y = -3e^{6x} \sin(3y) = 0$:

   • Since $e^{6x} \neq 0$, we must have $\sin(3y) = 0$.
   • This gives $3y = n\pi$ for $n \in \mathbb{Z}$, so $y = \frac{n\pi}{3}$.

For these equations to hold simultaneously, we need both $\cos(3y) = 0$ and $\sin(3y) = 0$. The only value of $y$ that satisfies both conditions is when $y = \frac{\pi}{2} + n\pi$, where $n$ is an integer. However, this is inconsistent with our requirements for both $\sin(3y)$ and $\cos(3y)$ to equal zero simultaneously. Therefore, there are no critical points for this function where both partial derivatives vanish simultaneously.

Since there are no points where both $f_x = 0$ and $f_y = 0$, the answer will have blank entries for critical points.

Summary

There are no critical points for this function, so the entries for critical points and their classifications will remain blank.

Would you like to discuss why this function has no critical points or go over any part of this process?

Here are some related questions you might find interesting:

1. How does the second derivative test classify critical points in general?
2. Why can't $\cos(3y)$ and $\sin(3y)$ be zero at the same time?
3. What conditions generally lead to the existence of saddle points in functions?
4. How can exponential terms affect the behavior of critical points in multivariable functions?
5. How would adding a constant term to $f(x, y)$ affect the location of critical points?

Tip: In multivariable calculus, critical points are found where all first partial derivatives are zero, but not all functions will have such points if their conditions can’t be met simultaneously.
