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.

  1. (35 points) Consider the curve C : { x ( t ) = tt^2 , y ( t ) = t^2 − t^3 , 0 [ t [ 1 }.

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.

  1. (35 points) Hint: Both parts a and b below can be solved with relatively little work.

a. Consider (^) F = − xy i + xy j + ( zxzy ) 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 }.

  1. (35 points) A climber walks on the surface of a glacier described by f ( x , y ) = y^2 − yx^2 + y.

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?

  1. (35 points) Assume the satellite dish for your digital television is represented by the surface of a parabaloid, S : { x = y^2 + z^2 , x [ 1 }. While you wait all day for the cable guy, you need to make the following calculations:

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.
