Answer

a) $1$ b) $2x+2y-1$

Work Step by Step

Since, we have $L(x,y)=f(x,y)+f_x(x-a)+f_y(y-b)$ ...(1) a ) Now, $f_x=2x \implies f_x(0,0)=0$; and $f_y=2y \implies f_y(0,0)=0$ and $f(0,0)=1$ Now eq. (1) becomes $L(0,0)=1+0(x-0)+0(y-0)=1$ b) Since, we have $L(x,y)=f(x,y)+f_x(x-a)+f_y(y-b)$ ...(1) Now, $f_x=2x \implies f_x(1,1)=2$; and $f_y=2y \implies f_y(1,1)=2$ and $f(1,1)=3$ Now eq. (1) becomes $L(1,1)=3+2(x-1)+2(y-1)=2x+2y-1$ Hence, a) $1$ b) $2x+2y-1$
