So, f (x, y) = d 2 is minimum at (0, 0).
Hence minimum value of d 2 at (0, 0).
d 2 = x2 + y2 + xy + 1 = 1

f (0 + h) - f (0)
x2 - 1 = 0 & x = ! 1
Hence at x =- 1, f m (x) =- 2 < 0 (Maxima)
at x = 1, f m (x) = 2 > 0 (Minima)
So, f (x) is minimum at x = 1

From these cases, there are three cases, when head comes exactly two times.
So, the probability of getting head exactly two times, when coin is tossed 3 times
is,
P = 3C2 (p) 2 (q) 1 = 3 # b 1 l # 1 = 3
