Problem Set - 6

1. This document contains 16 problems related to multivariable calculus concepts like expansion of functions, Taylor's theorem, finding extrema of functions, Lagrange multipliers, and geometry problems involving volumes and areas. Students are asked to expand functions, find stationary points, maximums and minimums, and solve optimization problems involving ellipses, parallelepipeds and triangles. 2. Problems involve techniques like expanding functions in powers of variables, finding local extrema, using Lagrange multipliers to find absolute extrema subject to constraints, determining greatest volumes that can fit in geometric objects, and finding function values over defined regions like ellipses. 3. Questions range from procedural problems applying expansion theorems and techniques
