Problem 2 (answer on page 3 of the booklet.)
Suppose f(x,y, 2) is a differentiable function of three variables such that
f(1, 2,3) = f(,1,-4)=4, VfU,1,-4)=i+j+k, Vf(8,3,-4) =3i-j4+k.
Let
z= 5r+3s, y=2r+s, z= -2(r?+s*), and w= f(x,y, 2).
(i) (12 pts) Find w/dr and Ow/ds at the point (r,s) = (1, 1),
(ii) (12 pts) Estimate f(1.01, 1.02, —3.98). /
Problem 3 (answer on page 4 of the booklet.)
Consider the function f(x) = e?.
(a) (12 pts) Use Taylor's theorem to find a power series expansion for {() about the point # = 0.
(b) (12 pts) Find the Taylor polynomial p3(z) generated by f at z = 0. Then use Taylor’s theorem
to estimate the error resulting from the approximation e~°! ~ p3(—0.1). Conclude that e®! < 10/9.
Problem 4 (answer on pages 5 and 6 of the booklet.)
Let C be the two-sided cone 2? = 2° + y’.
(i) (15 pts) Find the tangent plane and normal line of C at the point (3,4, 5).
(ii) (10 pts) Let S be the set of all points (x,y, 2) in C such that the normal line of C at (x,y, z) is
perpendicular to the vector v = i+jt V2k. Prove that S lies on a line L.
(iii) (3 pts) Find p
arametric equations for the line L from part (ii).
