MATHEMATICS 200 April 2006 Final Exam

1. If two resistors of resistance R1 and R2 are wired in parallel, then the resulting resistance
R satisfies the equation R1 = R11 + R12 . Use the linear approximation to estimate the change
in R if R1 decreases from 2 to 1.9 ohms and R2 increases from 8 to 8.1 ohms.
2. Assume that the directional derivative of w = f (x, y, z) at a point P is a maximum in
of the vector 2ı̂ı − ̂ + k̂, and the value of the directional derivative in that
the direction √
direction is 3 6.
(a) Find the gradient vector of w = f (x, y, z) at P .
(b) Find the directional derivative of w = f (x, y, z) at P in the direction of the vector
ı̂ı + ̂
3. Use the Second Derivative Test to find all values of the constant c for which the function
z = x2 + cxy + y 2 has a saddle point at (0, 0).
4. Use the Method of Lagrange Multipliers to find the radius of the base and the height
of a right circular cylinder of maximum volume which can be fit inside the unit sphere
x2 + y 2 + z 2 = 1.
5. Let z = f (x, y) where x = 2s + t and y = s − t. Find the values of the constants a, b and
c such that
∂ 2z ∂ 2z ∂ 2z ∂ 2z ∂ 2z
a 2 +b +c 2 = 2 + 2
∂x ∂x ∂y ∂y ∂s ∂t
You may assume that z = f (x, y) is a smooth function so that the Chain Rule and
Clairaut’s Theorem on the equality of the mixed partial derivatives apply.
6. Combine the sum of the two interated double integrals
Z y=1 Z x=y Z y=2 Z x=2−y
f (x, y) dx dy + f (x, y) dx dy
y=0 x=0 y=1 x=0

into a single interated double integral with the order of integration reversed.
7. Evaluate the iterated double integral
Z x=2 Z y=√4−x2
3
(x2 + y 2 ) 2 dy dx
x=0 y=0

8. Consider the region E in 3–dimensions specified by the spherical inequalities


1 ≤ ρ ≤ 1 + cos ϕ
(a) Draw a reasonably accurate picture of E in 3–dimensions. Be sure to show the units
on the coordinates axes.
(b) Find the volume of E.
