Solution

To find the critical points of the function z = (x-5)² + (y+8)², we need to take the partial derivatives of the function with respect to x and y, and then set them equal to zero.

  1. Take the partial derivative with respect to x:

∂z/∂x = 2(x-5)

  1. Set the partial derivative equal to zero and solve for x:

2(x-5) = 0 x-5 = 0 x = 5

  1. Take the partial derivative with respect to y:

∂z/∂y = 2(y+8)

  1. Set the partial derivative equal to zero and solve for y:

2(y+8) = 0 y+8 = 0 y = -8

So, the critical point of the function z = (x-5)² + (y+8)² is at (x, y) = (5, -8).
