  1. (a) (10 points). Express the equation for the cone z^2 = x^2 + y^2 in cylindrical coordinates.

(b) (10 points). Find the (scalar) curl of the vector field F~ (x, y) = (−(x − y)/(x^2 + y^2 ), (x −

y)/(x^2 + y^2 )).

  1. Let f (x, y) = x^4 − x^2 y^2 + y^4 − x^2 + y^2.

(a) (15 points). Find the critical points of f.

(b) (15 points). Use the second derivative test to determine if these critical points are local

maxima, local minima, or saddle points. What is the minimum value of the function?

  1. (a) (15 points). Drawn below are the plot of ∇f and the level curve g(x, y) = k. Mark the

points on the curve where maxima and minima of f occur, subject to g(x, y) = k.

(b) (15 points). Explain using the physical interpretation of divergence why if F~ (x, y, z) =

a~i + b~j + c~k (here, a, b, and c are constants), then ∇ · F~ = 0.
