where applicable. Use diagrams or graphs where needed to support your answers. Ensure
mathematical notation is accurate and consistent throughout your responses.

Questions
1. Given the function f (x, y) = x3 y + exy , compute the total differential df at the point
(1, 2).

2. Using the function f (x, y) = ln(x2 + y 2 ), find the approximate value of f (1.1, 2.1) using
the total differential at the point (1, 2).

3. Let z = f (x, y), where x = g(t) and y = h(t). Express dt
in terms of the total
differential dz and the derivatives of g(t) and h(t).

4. Compute the Jacobian matrix for the transformation defined by:

u = x2 y, v = xy 2 .

5. Given the transformation u = ex cos(y), v = ex sin(y), compute the Jacobian determi-


nant and determine if the inverse transformation exists at (0, π/4).

6. Evaluate the double integral ZZ


xy dx dy,
D
where D is the region defined by u = x + y and v = x − y, using the Jacobian
determinant for the change of variables.

7. Suppose F (x, y, z) = x2 + y 2 + z 2 − 4 = 0 defines z implicitly as a function of x and y.


Find the total differential dz in terms of dx and dy.

8. Consider the function f (x, y) = x2 + y 2 . Using the total differential, analyze how
small changes in x and y affect f (x, y) near the point (3, 4).

9. Derive the Jacobian matrix and compute its determinant for the transformation from
Cartesian to polar coordinates:

x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ.

10. Evaluate the triple integral ZZZ


xyz dx dy dz,
E
where E is the region transformed by:

u = x + y + z, v = x − y, w = x + z,

by finding the appropriate Jacobian determinant.

12. Derive the first-order approximation (linearization) of the function f (x, y) = sin(xy)
at the point (0, π/2) using the total differential.

13. Derive the Jacobian matrix for rotating coordinates by an angle θ:

u = x cos θ − y sin θ, v = x sin θ + y cos θ.

Compute its determinant and interpret its value.
