Answer ALL THIRTEEN questions

Note: You should always give precise and adequate explanations to support your
conclusions. Clarity of presentation of your argument counts. So think carefully
before you write.

P.1 of 4
For Question 1 to Question 4, you only need to give the answers. No explanation is
needed. For Question 5 to Question 8, brief explanations are required. For Question
9 to Question 13, all detailed steps are required.

1. (4 points) Which of the following straight lines is perpendicular to the velocity


vector of the path,(t) = (3t巴 2t+l,ltl) at (3,-1,1)?

(a) (1, 2, -l)s

(b) (1,4,2)s

(c) (-1,3,0)s

(d) (0,0,l)s

4. (4 points) Let c and d be real numbers. Define f (x, y, z) =ex+ y2 + dz for any
positive real numbers x, y and z satisfying x + y + z = l. It is known that the

5. (4 points) True or false: We have (u x v) · (u x w) = v • w for any vectors u,
v and win 配.

6. (4 points) True or false: Let f :艮2~ 民 be a function. If the contour curve


off at any height c is a circle (whenever { (x, y) E 黔: j(x,y)=c}h 邸 more

than one element), then the graph of f is a cylinder.

7. (4 points) True or false: Let f :竄2 ➔ 睬 be a function of cl 邸s C3, and let


aE 民2. If the second-order Taylor polynomial of f at a is f, then the third-
order Taylor polynomial of f at a is also f.

8. (4 points) True or false: Let f :艮2 ➔ 艮 be a function of cl 邸s C2 with (0, 0)


邸 a critical point. If there exist a, b E 睬2 such that J(a) < J(O, 0) < J(b),
then (0, 0) is a saddle point.

9. Define f: 展2 ➔ 艮 by J(x, y) = 3xy4 + 2x3y + y.

(a) (6 points) Compute the directional derivative off at (3, 1) in the direction
of (1, 2).

(b) (6 points) Let g(t) = f(3 + t, 1 + 2t). Compute g'(O) using the chain
rule.

(c) (2 points) Briefly explain why the answers in part (a) and part (b) are
different.

10. (12 points) Define f: 艮2~ 艮 by f (x, y) = - 2x3 + 3xy2 - 6y + 2. Find all critical
point(s) of f, and determine whether each critical point is a point of local
maximum, a point of local minimum or a saddle point.

joining the endpoints of,. Find the area of D. (You may use the fact
that the image of, always lies above the segment when O ~ t ~ 1.)
