Calculus 3  Final Exam    -   Math 241   Fall, 2007

 

 

 

1.

 

 

 

Find ∂z/∂x  if  z  =  z(x,y)  is defined implicitly by  xy2  +  3z  =   ez

 

Hint:  Differentiate the expression   xy2  +  3z  =   ez    implicitly.

Answer:  ∂z/∂x    =   y2 / (xy2 + 3z -3)

 

 

 

2.

Find the absolute minimum and maximum of   f(x,y)  =  x2  -  4x  +  5y2

on the circle   x2  +  y2  =  1.

 

Hint:  Try using Lagrange Multipliers to find the location on the circle for extreme

values of f(x,y).

Answer:    fmax = +6  at (-1/2,± √3 /2)     fmin  =  -3   at  (1,0)

 

 

3.

 

Find the mass of a circular lamina with radius  1  and density at each point equal to

the square of the distance from the point to the center.

Hint:  dM  =  r2 dA   =   r2  r dr

Answer:  M  =  π / 2  

 

4.

 

 

Sketch several (two or three) level curves of the function  f(x,y)  =  x2y.

Answer:  Family of hyperbolas.

 

 

5.

 

Let  z  =  f(x,y), where  x  = t2,  y = t3.  Find  d2z / dt2  in terms of t and partial

derivatives of  f  with respect to  x  and  y.

Hint:  d/dt  =  ∂/∂x  dx/dt  +  ∂/∂y  dy/dt

Answer:   d2z / dt2  =  2fx  = 6t fy  +  4t2 fxx  +  12t3 fxy  +  9t4 fyy       

 

 

 

 

 

6.

In the following integral, change the order of integration to  dx dz dy.  Give all

necessary pictures.

                    3      9 – x2    3z

                                            f(x,y,z)  dy dz dx

                  -3      0            0   

 

                         27      9            √(9-z)

Answer:                                           f(x,y,z)  dx dz dy

                         0      y/3          -√(9-z)   

 

 

 

7.

Find the area of the portion of the plane  x + 3y + 2z = 6 that lies in the first octant.

Hint:  One method is to find intercepts, find vectors, and use cross product.

Hint:  Second method is to find surface integral. (Easier)

 

Answer:  A  =  3 √14

 

8.

 

Let  F  =  ra r, where  r  =  <x,y,z>, r = | r |.  Find all real values of a for which  div F = 0

Hint:  Del Operator  =  ∂/∂x i  + ∂/∂y j  +  ∂/∂z k  and   r  =  √ (x2 + y2 + z2 )

Answer:  a  =  -3
