FALL 2010 — MA 227 — FINAL EXAM

FRIDAY DECEMBER 10, 2010

Name:

There are 11 questions, each worth 10 points; 100 (or more) points is equiv- alent to 100% for the exam. Partial credit is awarded where appropriate. Show all working; your solution must include enough detail to justify any conclusions you reach in answering the question.

  1. (a) Find the equation of the plane containing the points (1, 1 , 2), (0, 1 , −1) and (− 1 , 2 , 1). (b) Let r(t) = (2t^2 , sin(t^3 − 1), 2). Find the unit tangent vector at the point on the curve corresponding to t = 1.

  1. (a) Let f (x, y, z) = xz cos(y) − xyz^2. Find the third partial derivative f (^) xyz′′′. (b) Let f = xy^2 z and F = (xz, y, x^2 z). Find ∇f (the gradient of f ), div F (the divergence of F), and curl F (the curl of F).
  1. (a) Let z = x^2 y − x^3. Find the equation of the tangent plane at the point (1, 2). (b) Find equation of the tangent plane to the surface x + 2y^2 − z^3 = 3 at the point (2, − 1 , 1).
  1. Find the local maximum, minimum and saddle points (if any) of the function

f (x, y) = x^2 − xy + y^2 + 9x − 6 y + 10.

  1. Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum points of the function

f (x, y) = x^2 + y^2 + x on the region − 1 ≤ x ≤ 1 , − 1 ≤ y ≤ 1. Be sure to provide the coordinates of the points and the values of absolute maximum and minimum.

  1. Evaluate, by making an appropriate change of variables, the integral ∫ ∫

D

(x + y)^2 ex−^2 y^ dA

where D is the parallelogram enclosed by the lines x− 2 y = 0, x− 2 y = 2, x+y = −1, and x + y = 1.

  1. (a) Change (1,
  1. from rectangular into spherical coordinates. (b) Using spherical coordinates evaluate ∫ ∫ ∫

E

(x^2 + y^2 + z^2 ) dV,

where E is the half-ball x^2 + y^2 + z^2 ≤ 4, z ≥ 0.

  1. Use polar coordinates to find the mass of the lamina that lies within the annual region 1 ≤ x^2 + y^2 ≤ 16, if the material in the lamina has density (mass per unit volume) given by ρ(x, y) = x^2 + y^2.
