Solution Steps

To find the relative extrema of the function \( R(x, y) \), we need to find the critical points by setting the partial derivatives with respect to \( x \) and \( y \) to zero and solving the resulting system of equations. Then, we can use the second derivative test to classify the critical points.

Solution Approach
  1. Compute the partial derivatives of \( R(x, y) \) with respect to \( x \) and \( y \).
  2. Set the partial derivatives equal to zero to find the critical points.
  3. Use the second derivative test to determine the nature of each critical point (i.e., whether it is a local maximum, local minimum, or saddle point).
Step 1: Find the Partial Derivatives

To find the relative extrema of the function \( R(x, y) \), we first need to find the partial derivatives with respect to \( x \) and \( y \).

\[ R(x, y) = -5x^2 - 8y^2 - 2xy + 42x + 102y \]

The partial derivative with respect to \( x \) is:

\[ \frac{\partial R}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (-5x^2 - 8y^2 - 2xy + 42x + 102y) \]

\[ \frac{\partial R}{\partial x} = -10x - 2y + 42 \]

The partial derivative with respect to \( y \) is:

\[ \frac{\partial R}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial}{\partial y} (-5x^2 - 8y^2 - 2xy + 42x + 102y) \]

\[ \frac{\partial R}{\partial y} = -16y - 2x + 102 \]

Step 2: Set Partial Derivatives to Zero

To find the critical points, we set the partial derivatives equal to zero and solve for \( x \) and \( y \).

\[ -10x - 2y + 42 = 0 \]

\[ -16y - 2x + 102 = 0 \]

Step 3: Solve the System of Equations

We solve the system of linear equations:

  1. \(-10x - 2y + 42 = 0\)
  2. \(-16y - 2x + 102 = 0\)

First, solve equation 1 for \( y \):

\[ -10x - 2y + 42 = 0 \]

\[ -2y = 10x - 42 \]

\[ y = -5x + 21 \]

Substitute \( y = -5x + 21 \) into equation 2:

\[ -16(-5x + 21) - 2x + 102 = 0 \]

\[ 80x - 336 - 2x + 102 = 0 \]

\[ 78x - 234 = 0 \]

\[ 78x = 234 \]

\[ x = 3 \]

Now substitute \( x = 3 \) back into \( y = -5x + 21 \):

\[ y = -5(3) + 21 \]

\[ y = -15 + 21 \]

\[ y = 6 \]

Final Answer

The critical point is:

\[ \boxed{(x, y) = (3, 6)} \]
