Let z=f(x1,x2). Let fi be first order partial derivative of f(.,.) w.r.t. xi and fij be second order partial derivative of f(.,.) w.r.t. xi and xj. Suppose f1=0=f2 at some point (x1,x2)=(a,b) and further let f11⋅f22>f122 at (a,b). Consider the statements: (I) The function attains its maximum if f11<0 at (a,b). (II) The function attains its minimum if f22>0 at (a,b).
