Calculus Exam2 - Test02 PDF

(1) The document provides 5 sample questions that could appear on an hour test for the course 18.002. The questions cover topics like directional derivatives of scalar fields, implicit differentiation, extrema problems on surfaces, triple integrals in spherical coordinates, and double integrals using a change of variables. (2) Question 1 asks the student to find the directional derivative of a scalar field f at a point P in a given direction, using information about the directional derivatives of f in other directions at P. (3) Question 2 asks the student to find possible values of the partial derivative of an implicitly defined function z with respect to x, when given values for x and y.

SOME SAMPLE QUESTIONS FOR HOUR TEST 2

(1) At a given point P, a scalar field f has the following directional derivatives:
df/ds = 3 in the direction $i ,
df/ds = -2 in the direction $j ,
df/ds = -3 in the direction of $i + $j k$ .
At the point P, what is the directional derivative of f in the direction of 2 $i + 2 $j k$ .
(Remember to use unit vectors when unit vectors are called for.)

(2) The following equation defines z implicitly as a function (multivalued) of x and y:

xz2 + yz = 3.

x y

(3) What are the global maximum and minimum values attained by f(x,y,z) = xyz on the
ellipsoid surface 2x2 + 2y2 + z2 = 2 ?
(4) Consider the triple integral xyz dV, where R is that portion of the solid
R
sphere of radius 2 with center at the origin which lies above the plane z = 0 and on the
x > 0 side of the plane x = 0.
(a) By definition, evaluate this integral.
(b) Express this integral as an iterated integral in spherical coordinates.

(5) Let R be the region in the first quadrant contained between the lines y = x and y = 2x
