The solutions to exam 3 of the calculus 3 (appm 2350) course, which was held in fall 2008. The solutions include answers to various calculus problems, such as finding volumes, centers of mass, taylor approximations, and conservative fields. The document also includes formulas and integrals to calculate the volumes of different shapes.

(a) The upper and lower bounding surfaces are hemispheres and this integral com-
putes the volume of a sphere with radius 1. C. 4π/3 is that volume.
(b) Mass is density times area, M = δπ/2, moment about the x axis is

The center of mass coordinate is ¯y = Mx/M = (^34) π , so C.
(c) A linear Taylor approximation of f (x, y, z) about (0, 0 , 0) is of the form
L(x, y, z) = f (0, 0 , 0) + fx(0, 0 , 0)x + fy(0, 0 , 0)y + fz (0, 0 , 0)z, (2)
So it has 4 terms. Answer C.
(d) The following algebra shows the answer is a sphere of radius 1/2 centered at
(0, 0 , 1 /2):
ρ = cos φ (multiply both sides by ρ.) ρ^2 = ρ cos φ (substitute z = ρ cos φ
and ρ^2 = x^2 + y^2 + z^2 .)
x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = z (subtract z.) x^2 + y^2 + z^2 − z = 0 (add 1/4.)
x^2 + y^2 + z^2 − z + 1/ 4 = 1 / 4 (factor.) x^2 + y^2 + (z − 1 /2)^2 = (1/2)^2 (this is a sphere, pick C.)
(e) These formulas are on pages 844 and 1044, pick A.
(f) C is a Flux integral, and the only answer not in the box on page 1070.
(g) To make the correct choice, it suffices to choose any pyramid (with any shaped
base) and evaluate its Volume. A particularly simple choice would be the pyra- mid with corners (0, 0 , 0), (1, 0 , 0), (0, 1 , 0), and (0, 0 , 1). This pyramid is the
region between planes x = 0, y = 0, z = 0, and x + y + z = 1. Taking z = 0 as the base and (0, 0 , 1) as the top, we have h = 1 and A = 1/2. Te volume is

This agrees with option C.
(h) A conservative field, F = M i + N j + P k, must satisfy Mz = Px, My = Nx, and Nz = Py. For B and C, Mz 6 = Px, so B, and C are eliminated. Also, for A,
Nz 6 = Py, so it can’t be A. D satisfies all three requirements.

(b) F = x i + y j is conservative (My = 0 = Nx) , the circulation of a closed loop is zero by the Fundamental Theorem of Line Integrals.
