Problem 1. Find the slope of the tangent to the curve of intersection of the surface z = e−xy^2 and the plane y = 1 at the point (0, 1 , 1).
Problem 2. Consider the function of two variables: f (x, y) =
xy 4 x^2 − y^2
(a) Find and sketch the domain of the function z = f (x, y).
(b) For what points is the function f continuous?
Problem 4. Consider the function f (x, y) = 9x^2 + 4y^2. (a)Draw the level curve of that goes through the point (1, 2).
(b) In what direction is decreasing f most rapidly at (1, 2)?
Problem 5. If z = x^2 y + xy, x = st and y = s + t, find
∂z ∂t
s=1,t=− 1
Problem 6. Consider the surface given by: x^2 + 2y^2 + 3z^2 = 12. (a) Find the equation of the tangent plane to this surface at P (0, 0 , 2).
(b) Find a point on this surface where the tangent plane is perpendicular to the line with parametric equations x = 1 + 2t, y = 3 + 8t, z = 2 − 6 t.
Problem 9. Find the global minimum and global maximum values of
f (x, y) = 2x^2 − y^2 + 1 on S = {(x, y)|x^2 + y^2 ≤ 1 }. Hint: You may use that the only critical point interior to the set S is (0, 0).
Problem 10. Find the minimum of f (x, y, z) = x^2 + y^2 + z^2 subject to the constraint x + 3y − 2 z = 12.
