Homework Statement
Locate the critical point of the function,
e^-(x^(2)+y^(2)+2x)
Homework Equations
none
The Attempt at a Solution
Ok first step differentiate the function and set it to zero for both fx and fy,
Fx(x,y) = (-2x-2)e^(-x^(2)-y^(2)-2x)
Fy = -2ye^(-x^(2)-y^(2)-2x)
Now I need to solve both equations simultaneously,
I get
ln(-2x-2)-x^(2)-y^(2)-2x = 0
and
ln(-2y)-x^(2)-y^(2)-2x = 0
and this is where I am stuck. :( any advice would be welcomed :D
thanks,
Dan
