HONOUR HOMEWORK:

[Source: “Calculus Early Transcendentals” by James Stewart, 8th ed., 2015]

The following questions are NOT to be handed in, but it is essential to try them
before tutorial!

 The questions with a red star are the “at least do these for now/start with these” absolute bare-
minimum questions during the occasional super-busy week.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS ARE NOW IN VOLUME 3 OF


OUR FREE ONLINE TEXTBOOK

4.5: THE CHAIN RULE (pg 409 volume 3)

Learning Objectives:

 How to differentiate functions of several variables using the chain rule;


 Use of tree diagram to set up the formula for chain rule questions.

1) Use the Chain Rule to find ∂z/∂s and ∂z/∂t:

z = ln(3x + 2y), x = s sin t, y = t cos s

2) If p = f(x, y), where f is differentiable, and


x = g(t) y = h(t)
g(2) = 4 h(2) = 5
g’(2) = -3 h’(2) = 6
fx(4, 5) = 2 fy(4, 5) = 8
use the Chain Rule (2) to find p’(t) = ∂p/∂t when t = 2.

3) Use the Chain Rule to find the indicated partial derivatives.


w = xy + yz + zx, x = r cosƟ, y = r sinƟ, z = rƟ;

, when r = 2, Ɵ = π/2.

4) The temperature at a point (x, y) is T(x, y), measured in degrees Celsius.

A bug crawls so that its position after t seconds is given by


where x and y are measured in centimeters. The temperature function satisfies
Tx(2, 3) = 4 and Ty(2, 3) = 3. How fast is the temperature rising on the bug’s path
after 3 seconds?

4.6: DIRECTIONAL DERIVATIVES AND THE GRADIENT (pg 425 volume 3)

Learning Objectives:

 Basic understanding of the concept of a directional derivative;


 Evaluating the gradient vector;
 Finding directional derivatives;
 Finding the maximum rate of change of a function, and the direction in which it
occurs.

1) Find the directional derivative of f at the given point in the direction indicated by
the angle Ɵ:
f(x, y) = y cos(xy), (0, 1), Ɵ = π/4

2) (a) Find the gradient of f.


(b) Evaluate the gradient at the point P.
(c) Find the rate of change of f at P in the direction of the vector u.

f(x, y) = x/y = xy-1, P( 2, 1), u = 3/5 i + 4/5j

3) Find the directional derivative of the function at the given point in the direction of
the vector v:
f(x, y) = ex sin y, ( 0, π/3), v = < -6, 8 >

4) Find the maximum rate of change of f at the given point and the direction in
which it occurs:
f(x, y, z) = x/(y + z) , ( 8, 1, 3)

5) Find all points at which the direction of the fastest change of the function f(x, y) =
x2 + y2 – 2x – 4y is i + j.

4.7: MAXIMA/MINIMA PROBLEMS (pg 441 volume 3)

Learning Objectives:

 Finding critical points of a function of two variables;


 Classifying critical points as local max/min or saddle points.

1) Suppose (1, 1) is a critical point of a function f with continuous second


derivatives. In each case, what can you say about f ?
(a) fxx(1, 1) = 4, fxy(1, 1) = 1, fyy(1, 1) = 2
(b) fxx(1, 1) = 4, fxy(1, 1) = 3, fyy(1, 1) = 2

2) Find the local maximum and minimum values and saddle point(s) of the function.
If you have three-dimensional graphing software, graph the function with a
domain and viewpoint that reveal all the important aspects of the function:

f(x, y) = x2 + xy + y2 + y.

3) Find the local maximum and minimum values and saddle point(s) of the function.
If you have three-dimensional graphing software, graph the function with a
domain and viewpoint that reveal all the important aspects of the function:

f(x, y) = (x - y)(1 - xy).
