7. If a continuous function f of a single variable has exactly one critical number with a local maximum at
that critical point, then the value of f at that critical point is an absolute (global) maximum value.
However, the same is not always true for functions of two variables. Consider the function
f(x,y) = 3xe" --
(a) Show that f has exactly one critical point with a local maximum at that critical point.
(b) Use technology to draw the surface defined by f. Does f have an absolute (global) maximum value?
