Question: Consider the function, f, of two variables defined by f(x,y) = (x^2 - 9)*sin(y). Find all the stationary points of f and classify each of them as either a local maximum, local minimum or a saddle point.
How would I answer this question?

At the stationary points.
To classify them you need to consider.
This is all in your notes presumably and it's quite routine.
There are some good videos out there and of course there's Wikipedia.
