1. (2+2+4 pts.)
Find the limit, if it exists and prove that number is the limit; otherwise,
prove that the limit does not exist.

(a) lim

(b) lim

Solutions:

On the curve y  0, lim   1
lim .

Since we have two different limits on two different curves that approach
p0, 0q, the original limit does not exist.
(b)
Notice that for all px, y q  p0, 0q, 0 ¤ y 2 ¤ 3y 2 ¤ 2x2 3y 2 , so we have
y2
0¤ 2 ¤ 1. Multiplying each term by the non-negative x2, we
2x 3y 2
x2 y 2
get 0 ¤ 2 ¤ x2 and since lim x2  0, by Squeeze Theorem,

given by

(c)
Let F px, y, z q  f px, y q  z 2 3z.
Then, the level surface F px, y, z q  0 is the surface z 2  3z  f px, y q.
For such a level surface ∇F px0 , y0 , z0 q gives a normal vector to the sur-
face, hence the answer is

(a) Calculate ∇f p1, 1q, in other words, the gradient of f at the point p1, 1q.
(b) Calculate the directional derivative of f px, y q at the point p1, 1q in the
direction of v  x3, 4y.
(c) Find the direction in which f increases most rapidly at the point p1, 1q.
4. (4 4  8 pts).
This question consists of two independent parts.
(a) Suppose that F px, y q is a differentiable function where

xpu, v q  2u2 3v 2 y pu, v q  uv

Calculate Fu when pu, v q  p1, 2q as an expression containing Fx and


Fy .

(b) Find and classify critical point(s) of g px, y q  3x2  2y 2 .

Solution:

Notice that when pu, v q  p1, 2q, we have px, y q  p14, 2q

(b)
To find the critical points of g px, y q we need to solve ∇g  x6x, 4yy  x0, 0y,
where we find the single critical point p0, 0q.
The second derivatives at p0, 0q are

gxx p0, 0q  6 gxy p0, 0q  0  gyx p0, 0q gyy p0, 0q  4

Hence, Dp0, 0q  24   0, telling that us that g px, y q has neither a local
maximum nor a local minimum at p0, 0q, i.e., g px, y q has a saddle at p0, 0q.
5. (1+2+6+1=10 pts.)
Consider the function f px, y q  xy on the closed and bounded set

D  tpx, yq | 4x2 y2 ¤ 8, x ¥ 0u
Notice that D has 2 boundary components:
a linear portion L and an elliptic portion E.
Extreme Value Theorem guarantees that f px, y q has an absolute maximum and minimum
on D.

(a) Find the critical point(s) of f px, y q in D.


(b) Find the absolute maximum and minimum of f px, y q on L.
(c) Find the absolute maximum and minimum of f px, y q on E
using The Method of Lagrange Multipliers.
(d) Find the absolute maximum and minimum of f px, y q on D using parts (a), (b) and (c).

Solution:
(a)
To find the critical points of f px, y q we need to solve ∇f  xy, xy  x0, 0y, where we find
the single critical point p0, 0q.
(b) ? ?
L  tpx, y q | x  0, y P r2 2, 2 2su, hence on L, f px, y q  0.
Therefore, the absolute maximum and minimum of f px, y q on L is 0.
(c)
E  tpx, y q | 4x2 y 2  8, x ¥ 0u, hence let g px, y q  4x2 y 2  8 be the constraint equation.
The Lagrange Multipliers System of equations is as follows.

y  λ  8x x  λ  2y 4x2 y2 8 x¥0

If x  0, then using y  λ  8x, we get y  0 as well, but clearly the point p0, 0q does not
satisfy 4x2 y 2  8, therefore there are no solutions with x  0.
2y 2 y2
If x ¡ 0, then we can say λ  and hence x   ùñ 4x2  y2.
y
8x 8x 4x
Using the constraint equation, we get 8x2  8 ùñ x2  1 ùñ x  1 since x ¡ 0.
Then y 2  4 ùñ y  2. This gives us the points p1, 2q and p1, 2q to consider.
f p1, 2q  2 and f p1, 2q  2.

Therefore, the absolute maximum and minimum of f px, y q on E are 2 and 2, respectively.
(d)
Collecting and processing all of the information from the previous parts, we find that the
absolute maximum and minimum of f px, y q on E are 2 and 2, respectively.
