Help on question c

Consider the function P(r,s)=r²s+rs²-5rs+2r.
(a) Give the partial derivatives of P.
P/(r,s)= 2rs +². - 5s + 2
Ps(r,s) =
²
+r2s - 5r
(b) Which graph is steeper?
OP(r,2) at r=3
P(3,s) at s=2
(c) Let C be a positive constant and let f(s)=P(C,s). Use your knowledge of quadratic functions to give a formula, in
terms of C, for the value of s that gives the smallest value of f.
S=
cs² + s(c² - 5c) + 2c x
