A final exam for a vector calculus course, including multiple choice questions covering topics such as surface equations, limits, derivatives, integrals, and theorems. Students are required to show their work and only one sheet of handwritten notes is allowed. The exam covers topics such as finding tangent and normal lines, minimum and maximum values, surface integrals, and flux through surfaces.

On the front of your bluebook, write: (1) your name, (2) your recitation session number, and draw a grading table, as shown in the margin to the right. Apart from for Problem 1 (for which you should give only the answers), you must show all your work in your blue book, and BOX your final answers (A correct answer with no relevant work shown might not receive any credit, while an incorrect answer with some correct work might receive partial credit). With the exception of a 1 sheet (2 page) handwritten crib sheet, no text book, notes, or calculators are permitted. Please start each new problem on a new page of the bluebook.
a. What type of surface is described by the equation ( x^2 + y^2 + z^2 ) + 2 ( x + y + z ) = 0? A. Origin (0,0,0) only B. Sphere with radius 1 C. Sphere with radius less than 1 D. None of the above.
b. The distance from the origin to the plane x + y + z = 1 is A. 1 B. 1/3 C. 1/ 3 D. 1/
c. What is the value of (^) ( x , y lim)d(0,0)?
x − y^2 x − y A. 0 B. 1 C. ∞ D. Does not exist
d. If the radius of a sphere is uncertain by about 1%, how uncertain is then the volume? A. 1% B. 3% C. % D. Can't tell

dy dx = A. (^) ØØ xf / (^) ØØ yf B. − (^) ØØ xf / (^) ØØ yf C. (^) Ø^ Ø fx % (^) ØØ yf D. None of the above

On problems 2-5, anywhere you use Green's Theorem , Stoke's Theorem , or the Divergence Theorem , you must write the name of the theorem and draw a box around it for full credit.
a. Give equations for lines tangent and normal to C when (^) t = 1/3.
b. What are the minimum and maximum values of f ( x , y ) = x + y on C? Hint: No Lagrange multipliers are necessary for this problem.
c. Set up and evaluate an integral to find the area of R , the region enclosed in C.
a. Consider (^) F = − xy i + xy j + ( zx − zy ) k. Calculate the surface-curl integral ¶¶ S 1 (= % F ) $ n d where S 1 is the bell-shaped surface (^) x^2 + y^2 + z /( 1 + x^2 + y^2 ) = 1 that lies above (^) z = 0.
b. Find the outward flux of F = xz i + yz j + e ( y^2 )^ cos x^2 k through the six-sided surface S : {− 1 [ x [ 1, − 1 [ y [ 1, 0 [ z [ 4 − x^2 − y^2 }.
a. Find all three critical points of f ( x , y ) for the climber. Classify each of these points as a local minimum, local maximum, or saddle point.
b. At the point P (2,1), give a two-dimensional vector, u , that has the direction of steepest descent (the direction of greatest decrease of f ( x , y )).
c. The climber walks on an unknown path, (^) r ( t ) = x ( t ) i + y ( t ) j , through point P at time t 1. If the climber’ velocity at t 1 is (^) v ( t 1 ) = 5 i − 6 j , what is the change of f ( x , y ) with respect to time, d fdt , that the climber experiences?
a. Find the surface area of the dish. Hint: a transformation to polar coordinates is useful for the final integration.
b. Setup, but do not evaluate , an integral for the volume of the region of space inside the dish, D : { y^2 + z^2 [ x [ 1 }, in dy dz dx ordering. (Any other ordering will only receive half credit).
c. Use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find the point on the dish that minimizes the function x^2 + y^2 − z /2.
