1. Let f (x, y) = 10x2 + y 2 . Graph the function z = f (x, y) in Python


over a rectangle in x, y plane −1 ≤ x ≤ 1, 0 ≤ y ≤ 4 with a step size
of △x = △y = 0.4, i.e, x-axis is divided into 5 equal subintervals and
y-axis is divided into 10 equal subintervals. Then label the axes. Draw
horizontal planes at heights z = 5, 10, 15 which intersects the graph
z = f (x, y) to obtain the contour curves. The curve of intersection,
projected down the x, y plane is the label curve f (x, y) = c where
c = 5, 10, 15. Plot the level curve.
(Note that if the rectangle is a ≤ x ≤ b, c ≤ y ≤ d then the step size
△x = (b−a)
n and △y = (d−c)m divides x-axis into n equal grid points
and y-axis into m equal grid points respectively. In the above exercise
n = 5 and m = 10.)

2. Let f (x, y) = xy − x3 . Then find ▽f . Graph the gradient vector field
and the label curves of f over the square [−2, 2] × [−2, 2]. So choose
the step size △x = △y = 0.5 in x-axis and y-axis. Intersect the curve
3
f (x, y) = xy − x3 by planes at height z = −5 to z = 5 with step size
△z = 0.5 to find the contour curves and project onto the xy-plane
to get label curve. Then plot the gradient vectors(or arrows), at each
label curve with a distance of 0.2 apart.

3. Plot the graph f (x, y) = (1 − y 2 ) cos x over the square {−1 ≤ x, y ≤ 1}


with a step size △x = △y = 0.5. Plot the tangent plane approximation
to f (x, y) = (1 − y 2 ) cos x at the point (x0 , y0 ) = (.2, −.4) over the
smaller square {|x − .2|, |y + .4| ≤ .5}. The equation of tangent plane
to z = f (x, y) at (x0 , y0 ) is z = L(x, y) = f (x0 , y0 ) + fx (x0 , y0 )(x −
x0 ) + fy (x0 , y0 )(y − y0 ).
