Correct:
  • $z'_x(x,y)=-x^2+4-y^2$
  • $z'_y(x,y)=2y^2-2yx$
$z'_y(x,y)=0$ gives $2y(y-x)=0$. Hence, $y=0$ or $y=x$.

First we use $y=0$. $z'_x(x,y)=0$ then gives $-x^2+4=0$. Hence, $x=2$ or $x=-2$.

Then we use $y=x$. $z'_x(x,y)=0$ then gives $-x^2+4-x^2=0$, or $2x^2=4$. Hence, $x=\sqrt{2}$ (with $y=x=\sqrt{2}$) or $x=-\sqrt{2}$ (with $y=x=-\sqrt{2}$).

Hence, $(2,0)$, $(-2,0)$, $(\sqrt{2},\sqrt{2})$ and $(-\sqrt{2},-\sqrt{2})$ are the stationary point.

Go on.

Wrong: $z'_x(x,y)\neq -x^2+4$.

See Partial derivatives.
Antwoord 3 feedback
Wrong: $z'_y(x,y)\neq 2y^2-2y$.

See Partial derivatives.
Antwoord 4 feedback
Wrong: $z'_y(x,y)$ is not only equal to $0$ for $y=0$, but also for $y=x$.
