Exercise · ZW-HESSIAN-MATRIX-004 · ★☆☆ Basic
Compute the Hessian of \(f(x,y)=e^{xy}\) at \((0,0)\).
Choose one option.
Show answer
- D. \(\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\1&0\end{pmatrix}\)
Explanation
\(f_{xx}=y^2e^{xy}\), \(f_{xy}=(1+xy)e^{xy}\), \(f_{yy}=x^2e^{xy}\); at the origin these are \(0,1,0\).
Review the concept: Hessian matrix
The Hessian matrix \(H\) of a function \(f\) of two variables is the \(2\times2\) matrix of its second-order partial derivatives at a point.
\[H=\begin{pmatrix}f_{xx}&f_{xy}\\ f_{yx}&f_{yy}\end{pmatrix}\]
