This exam contains eight problems, worth a total of 100 points. The first four questions are multiple choice. Your answers for these four questions are to be entered in the table below. No partial credit will be given for the first four problems, so double check your work. Please do not cheat. The use of books, calculators, cell phones, computers, notes, cheat sheets, and all similar aids is strictly prohibited. Good luck. SHOW YOUR WORK.

(b) (5 points) Give a parametrization of the tangent line at the point (18, 6 , 12) to the parametric curve C given by r(t) = 〈 2 t^2 , 2 t, 4 t〉
where 0 ≤ t ≤ 5.
(c) (5 points) Show that the line found in part (b) belongs to the plane found in part (a). Also, in fifteen words or less, explain why the line found in part (b) belongs to the plane found in part (a).
Problem 7. (10 points) Suppose C is the curve parametrized by r(t) = 〈3 cos(t), 3 sin(t), 2 〉 for 0 ≤ t ≤ 2 π. Compute the line integral of F(x, y, z) = 〈−x^2 yz, xy^2 z, exy〉 along the curve C. (Hint: Stokes’ Theorem may be useful.)
Problem 8. (15 = 5 + 10 points) Let P be the prism bounded below by the plane with equation z = 0, on the sides by the planes with equations y = 0, y = 5, and x = 0, and “above” by the plane with equation z = 2 − x.
(a) (5 points) Sketch P.
(b) (10 points) Let S′^ be the boundary of P and let S be the surface obtained by removing the bottom face (i.e., the face in the xy-plane) from S′. We suppose that S has “outward” orien- tation. Note that S has four sides. Compute the flux across S of the vector field F(x, y, z) = 〈x^3 y, x^2 y^2 , x^2 y(z + 1)〉. (Hint: the divergence theorem may be useful.)
