for |r| < 1, we find that the sum of the series is 2.

  1. First compute four derivatives:

f

′ (x) = − sin x, f

′′ (x) = − cos x, f

(3) (x) = sin x, f

(4) (x) = cos x

Evaluating the function f at x = 0 and each of the derivatives as well we obtain

f (0) = 1, f

′ (0) = 0, f

′′ (0) = −1, f

(3) (0) = 0, f

(4) (0) = 1.

  1. A cylinder of radius 3 that is centered about the z-axis.

  2. (a) A plane parallel to the yz-plane that passes through the point (− 2 , 0 , 0).

(b) A cylinder of radius 1 centered about the y-axis.

  1. Let c = 2x

  • y. Solving for y gives y = − 2 x

  • c. The level curves will be

parabolas. (Be sure to sketch them and label them with the corresponding c

value).

  1. Substituting (0, 0 , 0) into the equation implies c = 0. Substituting (0, 1 , 3)

and solving for n gives n = 3. Finally substituting (− 1 , − 2 , 0) gives m = −6 so

that z = − 6 x + 3y.

i + y 0

j + z 0

k be the velocity vector of the airplane. The plane is rising at a

rate of 12km/hr so that z 0

= 12. The airspeed of the plane is 200 km/hr so

‖~v‖ = 200. Computing ‖~v‖, we get the equation

2 = 200

The x-axis points east, the y-axis points north, and the plane is heading north-

west so that −x 0 = y 0 (drawing a picture may help you see this). Substituting

in for x 0 and solving for y 0 we get y 0 ≈ 141 .167. Therefore the velocity vector

of the plane is ~v = − 141. 167

j is parallel to ~v. If u = u 1

The equation of the plane is 0 = 0(x − 1) + 5(y − 0) − 5(z − 1) which simplifies

to z = y + 1.

  1. Let g(x, y) = 4x − 2 y. Then ∇f = 2x~i + 2y~j and ∇g = 4

i − 2

j. Solving

∇f = λ∇g and using the constraint, we obtain the equations:

2 x = 4λ 2 y = − 2 λ 4 x − 2 y = 15

Multiplying the second by -2 gives − 4 y = 4λ so combining this with the first

equation we obtain 2x = − 4 y which gives x = − 2 y. Substituting into the third

equation we find x = 3 and y = −

We compute f (3, −

3

2

) = 11.25 but we don’t know if this is a maximum or

a minimum so we compute f at another point that satisfies the constraint and

compare. The point (4,

1

2

) satisfies 4x − 2 y = 15 and f (4,

1

2

So there is a minimum at (3, −

2

). There is no maximum.
