Given the table: (a,b) | f | f_x | f_y | f_xx | f_yy | f_yx ---------------------------------------------- (1,2) | 5 | 2 | -4 | 12 | 10 | -8 Find Q(x,y) the quadratic polynomial for f(x,y) near (1, 2). Answer (note it is equal, not approximately equal) Q(x,y) = 5 + 2(x-1) -4(y-2)+ [12(x-1)^2 + (2)(-8)(x-1)(y-2) + 10(y-2)^2]/2!
