Finding system of equations from critical points

37 Views Asked by At

We've gotten a function $f(x,y)=3x^3+3x^2y-y^3-15x$. For this function, it is told that the critical points of $f$ is $A = (1,1), B = (-1,-1),C = (\sqrt5,-\sqrt5), D = (-\sqrt5, \sqrt 5)$. These are the solutions to a system of two equations, and I can't seem to find any information on how to find these two equations? Note that it is not required to solve the equations, just find them.

Thanks in advance.

The two equations are

$f_x(x,y)=0$ and $f_y(x,y)=0.$
