In the following question find the $(x,y)$ coordinates of the single stationary point $(a,b)$ of the function

\n

\\[f(x,y)=\\simplify[std]{{a}*x^2+{b}*x*y+{c1}*y^2+{d}*x+{f}*y}\\]

", "advice": "

The $(x,y)$ coordinates of the stationary point of a function of 2 variables $f(x,y)$ are given by solving
the following 2 equations for $x$ and $y$:

\n

\\[\\begin{eqnarray*} \\partial f \\over \\partial x &=&0\\\\ \\\\ \\partial f \\over \\partial y &=&0 \\end{eqnarray*} \\]

\n

In this case you get two linear equations to solve for $x$ and $y$:

\n

\\[\\begin{eqnarray*} \\simplify[std]{{2*a}x+{b}y+{d}}&=&0\\\\ \\\\ \\simplify[std]{{b}x+{2*c1}y+{f}}&=&0 \\end{eqnarray*} \\]
On solving these we get \\[ x = \\simplify[std]{{2*c1*d-b*f}/{b^2-4*a*c1}},\\;\\;\\;y=\\simplify[std]{{2*a*f-b*d}/{b^2-4*a*c1}}\\]
On substituting these values into $f(x,y)$ we get:

\n

\\[f\\left(\\simplify[std]{{2*c1*d-b*f}/{b^2-4*a*c1}},\\simplify[std]{{2*a*f-b*d}/{b^2-4*a*c1}}\\right) = \\var{rawstatval}\\approx\\var{statval}\\]
