    (9) 1. Identify and sketch the graph of the surface 4x2 + y 2 − z 2 = 1.


    This is an elliptic hyperboloid of one sheet. The planes perpendicular to the
    z–axis (parallel to the xy–plane) intersect the surface in ellipses. Perpendicular
    to the x and y–axis teh cross sections are hyperbolas.

    2. The position of a particle at time t is ~r(t) = t ln(t + 1)~i + (t + 1)1/2~j + (t + 1)3/2~k


    (12)
    (a) Find the velocity and acceleration vectors.
    The velocity is
    t ~ 1 3
    ~v (t) = ~r ′ (t) = (ln(t + 1) + )i + (t + 1)−1/2~j + (t + 1)1/2~j
    t+1 2 2
    and the acceleration is
    1 (t + 1) − t ~ 1 −3/2~ 3
    ~a(t) = ~v ′ (t) = ( + ) i − (t + 1) j + (t + 1)−1/2~j
    t+1 (t + 1)2 4 4

    (b) Find an equation for the tangent line to the path (in part (a)) of the particle
    when t = 0.
    A tangent vector is ~v (0) = 21~j + 23 ~k. We want the tangent line at ~r(0) = ~j + ~k
    and that line is The tangent line is
    1 3
    ~r(t) = ~j + ~k + t( ~j + ~k)
    2 2

    3. Solve the initial problem for ~r as a vector function of t if


    (10)
    d~r
    Differential equation: = te−t~i + e−t~j − e−2t~k
    dt
    Initial Condition: ~r(0) = −~i + ~j + 2~k
    2

    We integrate: Z Z Z
    ~r(t) = te −t
    dt~i + e −t
    dt~j − e−2t dt~k =

    The first integral can be done by parts ( u dv = uv − v du with u = t, dv =


    R R

    e−t dt)
    1
    ~r(t) = (−te−t − e−t )~i − e−t~j + e−2t dt~k + C
    ~
    2
    It remains to find C.~ By the initial condition

    1
    −~i + ~j + 2~k = ~r(0) = −~i − ~j + ~k + C
    ~
    2
    ~ = 2~j + (3/2)~k and therefore
    so that C
    1
    ~r(t) = (−te−t − e−t )~i + (2 − e−t )~j + (e−2t + 3) dt~k
    2

    (8) 4. Find the length of the curve ~r = 13 t3/2~i + 2t~j + √1 t3/2~


    k, 0 ≤ t ≤ 5.
    3
    We need the speed. Differentiate
    √
    1 3 1/2~ ~ 1 3 1/2~ 1 1/2~ ~ 3 1/2~
    ~v (t) = ~r (t) = ′
    t i + 2j + √ t k = t i + 2j + t k
    32 32 2 2
    q
    so that |~r ′ (t)| = t/4 + 4 + 3t/4 = (4 + t)1/2 . The length is therefore
    Z 5 2 2 h 3/2 i 38
    (4 + t)1/2 dt = (4 + t)3/2 |50 = (9) − (4)3/2 =

    5. (a) Find and sketch the domain of the function f (x, y) = x2 + 4y 2 − 9.
    (14) The domain is the set {(x, y) : x2 + 4y 2 ≥ 9} which is the exterior of an
    ellipse.

    (b) Find an equation for and sketch the graph of the level curve of the function
    f (x, y) of part (a) that passes through the point (3,-1).
    3

    Since f (3, −1) = 2 we are looking for the level curve f (x, y) = 2 which is
    x2 + 4y 2 = 13 which is an ellipse.

    x+y
    (7) 6. Find the limit. lim
    (x,y)→(2,−2) x2 − y 2

    This limit is of the form 0/0 and so we look for a cancellation in the fraction
    x+y x+y 1 1
    lim 2 2
    = lim = lim =
    (x,y)→(2,−2) x − y (x,y)→(2,−2) (x + y)(x − y) (x,y)→(2,−2) x − y 4

    7. By considering different paths of approach, show that f (x, y) has no limit as


    (9) (x, y) → (0, 0).
    y 2 + xy
    f (x, y) = 2
    x + y2
    Consider
    (r(sin θ)2 + r cos θr sin θ
    f (r cos θ, r sin θ) = = (sin θ)2 + cos θr sin θ
    r2
    and so
    lim f (r cos θ, r sin θ) = (sin θ)2 + cos θr sin θ
    r→0
    and this limit depends on θ which means it depends on the path of approach to
    (0,0) and so lim(x,y)→(0,0) f (x, y) does not exist.
    (9) 8. Find all the second partial derivatives of f (x, y) = ln(x + y 2 )
    There are three second distinct partial derivatives. We first need the first partials.
    ∂f 1
    =
    ∂x x + y2
    ∂f 2y
    =
    ∂y x + y2
    ∂ 2f 1
    = −
    ∂x2 (x + y 2 )2
    ∂ 2f 2y
    = −
    ∂x∂y (x + y 2 )2
    ∂ 2f 2(x + y 2 ) − 4y 2
    =
    ∂y 2 (x + y 2 )2
    4

    and of course the order of differentiation for the second mixed partial derivative
    is inconsequential.

    9. Suppose we substitute x = u2 − v 2 and y = 2uv in a differentiable function


    w = f (x, y). Show that
    1 ∂w ∂f ∂f
    = u+ v
    2 ∂u ∂x ∂y
    and derive a comparable expression for ∂w/∂v.
    (10) By the chain rule in two variables:
    ∂w ∂f ∂x ∂f ∂y
    = +
    ∂u ∂x ∂u ∂y ∂u

    but ∂x/∂u = 2u and ∂y/∂u = 2v so that

    ∂w ∂f ∂f
    = 2u + 2v
    ∂u ∂x ∂y
    and dividing by 2 gives the desired expression. Similarly we have
    ∂w ∂f ∂x ∂f ∂y
    = +
    ∂v ∂x ∂v ∂y ∂v

    but ∂x/∂v = −2v and ∂y/∂v = 2u so that

    ∂w ∂f ∂f
    = (−2v) + 2u
    ∂v ∂x ∂y
    and so we have
    1 ∂w ∂f ∂f
    =− v+ u
    2 ∂v ∂x ∂y
    10. (a) Find the gradient of the function f (x, y, z) = xy + 2yz + 3xz.
    (12) The gradient is ∇f = (y + 3z)~i + (x + 2z)~j + (2y + 3x)~k
    (b) Find the (directional) derivative of f at P0 (1, 3, −1) in the direction of ~u =
    ~i − ~j + 2~k.
    At P0 (1, 3, −1), we have ∇f (1, 3, −1) = −~j + 3~k so that the directional
    derivative in the direction of f in the direction ~u is

    ∇f (1, 3, −1) · ~u 7
    D~u f (1, 3, −1) = =√
    |~u| 6
