Answer

$$\left( {0,2} \right),\,\,\,\left( { - 1,2} \right),\,\,\,\left( {1,2} \right)$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & f\left( {x,y} \right) = {x^4} - 2{x^2} + {y^2} - 4y + 5 \cr & {\text{Calculate the partial derivatives }}{f_x}\left( {x,y} \right){\text{ and }}{f_y}\left( {x,y} \right) \cr & {f_x}\left( {x,y} \right) = \frac{\partial }{{\partial x}}\left[ {{x^4} - 2{x^2} + {y^2} - 4y + 5} \right] \cr & {f_x}\left( {x,y} \right) = 4{x^3} - 4x \cr & and \cr & {f_y}\left( {x,y} \right) = \frac{\partial }{{\partial y}}\left[ {{x^4} - 2{x^2} + {y^2} - 4y + 5} \right] \cr & {f_y}\left( {x,y} \right) = 2y - 4 \cr & {\text{Set }}{f_x}\left( {x,y} \right) = 0{\text{ and }}{f_y}\left( {x,y} \right) = 0 \cr & 4{x^3} - 4x = 0{\text{ and }}2y - 4 = 0 \cr & {\text{From the equation }}{x^2} + 3y = 0 \cr & 4{x^3} - 4x = 0 \cr & 4x\left( {{x^2} - 1} \right) = 0 \cr & {x_1} = 0,\,\,\,{x_2} = 1,\,\,\,{x_3} = - 1 \cr & and \cr & 2y - 4 = 0 \cr & y = 2 \cr & {\text{The critical points occur at}} \cr & \left( {0,2} \right),\,\,\,\left( { - 1,2} \right),\,\,\,\left( {1,2} \right) \cr} $$
