Answer

Minima $f(x,y)=1$ at all the points (x,y) along $x-,y-$ axes.

Work Step by Step

Second derivative test: Some noteworthy points to calculate the local minimum, local maximum and saddle point of $f$. 1. If $D(p,q)=f_{xx}(p,q)f_{yy}(p,q)-[f_{xy}(p,q)]^2 \gt 0$ and $f_{xx}(p,q)\gt 0$ , then $f(p,q)$ is a local minimum. 2.If $D(p,q)=f_{xx}(p,q)f_{yy}(p,q)-[f_{xy}(p,q)]^2 \gt 0$ and $f_{xx}(p,q)\lt 0$ , then $f(p,q)$ is a local maximum. 3. If $D(p,q)=f_{xx}(p,q)f_{yy}(p,q)-[f_{xy}(p,q)]^2 \lt 0$ , then $f(p,q)$ is not a local minimum and local maximum or, a saddle point. If we put either $x$ or $y$ equals $0$, we will get no specific or valid points. For $(x,y)=( x,y)$ $D(x,y)\gt 0$ ; and $f_{xx}(x,y) \gt 0$; as per derivative test , that is, If $D(p,q)=f_{xx}(p,q)f_{yy}(p,q)-[f_{xy}(p,q)]^2 \gt 0$ and $f_{xx}(p,q)\gt 0$ , then $f(p,q)$ is a local minimum. Also, $f(x,y)=xy+e^{-xy}=1$ at points $(0,0)$ Hence, Minima $f(x,y)=1$ at all the points (x,y) along $x-,y-$ axes.
