Q.3: Let a system where the angles 𝑥, 𝑦 & 𝑧 represent angular positions in a mechanical
system, and 𝑢(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧) = log(tanx + tany + tanz), represents a potential function
describing the energy associated with these angles. Demonstrate how the combined
contributions of the changes in 𝑥, 𝑦 & 𝑧 relate to the overall energy balance by showing
that:

Q.4: Consider the function 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑥 𝑦 . In various applications, such as population
growth models or investment growth calculations, you might need to analyze how small
changes in 𝑥 & 𝑦 affect the output of this function. Expand 𝑥 𝑦 in powers of (𝑥 − 1) and
(𝑦 − 1) upto third degree term by Taylor’s theorem.
