    Only approved calculators as announced by the Examinations Secretary can be used


    in this eramination. It is candidates’ responsibility to ensure that their calcula-
    tor operates satisfactorily, and candidates must record the name and type of the
    calculator used on the front page of the examination script.

    Answer ALL SEVEN questions

    Note: You should always give precise and adequate explanations to support your
    conclusions except question 1. Clarity of presentation of your argument counts. So
    think carefully before you write.

    of local/global maximum/minimum and saddle point(s) of f. (Note: You
    should show the use of multivariable calculus in some parts of the
    solution. An entirely algebraic proof is not acceptable.)
