Question:
5. Let V be open in R 2,
(a,
b) E V, and f : V ---+ R have second-order partial derivatives on V with fx
(a,
b) = fy
(a,
b) = O. If the second-order partial derivatives of f are continuous at
(a,
b) and exactly two of the three numbers fxx
(a, b), fxy
(a, b), and fyy
(a,
b) are zero, prove that
(a,
b) is a saddle point if fxy
(a,
b) =I- O.
