Problem 1.
Prove part (2) of Theorem 6.14 of the course notes, which is given below.
Theorem (Second Derivative Test). Suppose that f: R" → R is C³ in a neighbourhood of a critical
point a ЄR". Let A₁₂ <<n be the eigenvalues of D2f(a). Then:
(2) If all the eigenvalues are negative, then a is a strict local maximum of f.
Hint: You should be able to draw inspiration from the proof of (1), which is given in the courseware.
