Solution
Given that,
$
f(x, y)=2(x-y)^2-x^4-y^4, \text { we get }
$
On differentiating partially w.r.t. $x$,
$
f_x=4(x-y)-4 x^3
$
Again differentiating partially, we get
$
\begin{aligned}
& & f_{x x} & =4-12 x^2 \\
\Rightarrow & & \left(f_{x x}\right)_{(0,0)} & =4-0=4 \\
\text { Similarly } & & f_{y y} & =4-12 y^2 \\
\Rightarrow & & \left(f_{y y}\right)_{(0,0)} & =4-0=4 \\
\text { and } & & f_{x y} & =-4+0 \\
\Rightarrow & & \left(f_{x y}\right)_{(0,0)} & =-4 \\
& \therefore & \left(f_{x x} f_{y y}-f_{x y}^2\right)_{(0,0)} & =4(4)-(-4)^2=0
\end{aligned}
