For each of the questions you MUST first figure, YOUR version, with the following convention
For i=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 , a[i]:= The i-th digit of your RUID, BUT of it is zero make it 1
Example: RUID=413200125;
a[1] = 4, a[2] = 1, a[3] = 3, a[4] = 2, a[5] = 1, a[6] = 1, a[7] = 1, a[8] = 2, a[9] = 5
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HERE WRITE THE ACTUAL a[i]
a[1]= 1 , a[2]= 9, a[3]= 6, a[4]=1 , a[5]=1 , a[6]= 1, a[7]= 7, a[8]= 5, a[9]= 2
--------------------------------------------

Problem 1:
Find dz/dy at the point (1,1,1) if z(x,y) is given implicitly by the equation
x^a[1]+y^a[2]+z^a[3]+a[5]*x*y*z^2 = 3+a[5]
With my RUID data the question is
z(x,y) = x^1 + y^9 + z^6 +(1)*x*y*z^2= 3 + 1
Here is how I do it (Explain everything)
z(x,y) = 9y^8 + 6z^5 (dz/dy) + xz^2 + 2xyz(dz/dy) = 0
Ans.:
dz/dy = (9*y^8 + x*z^2)/ (-6*z^5 - 2*x*y*z)
---------------------------------------------
Problem 2:
Suppose that grad(f)(P)=. Is f increasing or decreasing at the direction ?
With my RUID data the question is
grad(f)(P) = <1,-1,9>
Direction: <1,6,-1>
Here is how I do it (Explain everything)
f_x= 1
f_y= -1
f_z= 9
Ans.: increasing
---------------------------------------------
Problem 3:
Find the directional derivative of the function f(x,y,z)
x^3*a[6]+y^3*a[3]+z^3*a[8]
At the point P=(1,-1,1) in the direction pointing to Q=(1,-1,3)
With my RUID data the question is
f(x,y,z) = x^3 + 6*y^3 +5*z^3
Here is how I do it (Explain everything)
PQ= <1-1,-1+1,3-1>= <0,0,2>
U = PQ/ |PQ|
u= <0,0,2>/ (2)= <0,0,1> =
Directional Derivative = f_x*a+f_y*b+f_z*c = 0 + 0 + 5z^3
Evaluate at P=(1,-1,1)
Directional Derivative at P = 5(1)^3 = 5
Ans.:5
---------------------------------------------
Problem 4:
Find a saddle point of the function f(x,y)=
exp(x-a[4])-(x-a[4])*exp(y-a[6])
If there is no saddle point, write in the Answers: "Does Not exist". Explain what you are doing
With my RUID data the question is
exp(x-1)-(x-1)*exp(y-1)
f_x= exp(x-1) - exp(e^y-1)
f_xx= exp(x-1)
f_y= -x*exp(y-1) = exp(y-1)
f_yy= -x*exp(y-1) + exp(y-1)
Set equal to zero and solve equations for x to obtain x=y
Plug x=y into equation to find x=1 then if x=1 and x=y then y=1
Saddle point (1,1)
Here is how I do it (Explain everything)
Ans.: (1,1)
---------------------------------------------
Problem 5:
Let f(x,y) be the function
a[4]*x + a[7]*y + a[2]
Find the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM VALUE of f(x,y) INSIDE the TRIANGLE whose VERTICES ARE
A = [a[1], a[2]], B = [a[3], a[4]], C = [a[5], a[6]]
With my RUID data the question is
1*x + 7*y + 9
A = [1, 9]
B = [6, 1]
C = [1, 1]
Here is how I do it (Explain everything)
f_x= 1
f_y=7
Critical point at (1,7)
Ans.: (1,7)
---------------------------------------------
Problem 6:
Let f(x,y) be the function
(x^2*a[4]^2-y^2*a[5]^2)/(x*a[4]-y*a[5])
Find the LIMIT of f(x,y) as (x,y) goes to the point [a[5],a[4]], or show that it does not exist
With my RUID data the question is
(x^2-y^2)/(x-y)
Here is how I do it (Explain everything)
Simplify to x+y and take the limit by plugging in (1,1), 1+1 = 2
Answer: 2
---------------------------------------------
Problem 7:
Find the curvature of the curve
r(t) = [a[1], a[2]*t, a[3]*t^2]
At the point (a[1],0,0)
With my RUID data the question is
r(t) = (1,9*t,6*t^2) at point (1,0,0)
Here is how I do it (Explain everything)
K= | r’(t) x r’’(t)|/ |r’(t)|^3
r’(t)= <0,9,12t>
r’’(t)- <0,0,12>
| r’(t) x r’’(t)| = 108
|r’(t)|^3 = (3*sqrt(16*t^2 +9))^3
Solve fo rt: 9t=0 → t=0
Plug in t=0 into k equation
=108/729=36/93
Answer: 36/93
---------------------------------------------
Problem 8:
A particle is moving in the plane with ACCELERATION given by
[-a[1]*sin(t), -a[2]*cos(t)]
At time t=0 its position is , [0, a[2]]
and its velocity is , [a[1], 0]
Where is it located at time , t = Pi
With my RUID data the question is
a(t) = (-sin(t) + 2t, 9cost(t) )
position= (0,9)
velocity= (1,0)
Here is how I do it (Explain everything)
Take integral of a(t) and solve for constants:
v(t)= (-cos(t) +2, 9*sint(t))
Take integral of v(t) and solve for constants:
r(t)= (sin(t) + 2*t, 9*cos(t))
Plug in pi to this equation to get (0,-9)
Answer: (0,-9)
---------------------------------------------
Problem 9:
Right now the rate of change of the function with respect to x is, a[5]
and the rate of change of the function with respect to y is, a[7]
Both x and y depend on time
Right now the rate of change of x with respect to time is, a[1]
and the rate of change of y with respect to time is, a[9]
How fast is the function changing right now?
With my RUID data the question is
A certain function depends on variables x and y
Right now the rate of change of the function with respect to x is, 1
and the rate of change of the function with respect to y is, 7
Both x and y depend on time
Right now the rate of change of x with respect to time is, 1
and the rate of change of y with respect to time is, 2
How fast is the function changing right now?
15
Here is how I do it (Explain everything)
(dx)(dx/dt)+(dy)(dy/dt)
(1)(1) +(7)(2)
=15
---------------------------------------------
Problem 10:
Find the point of intersection of the three planes
x = a[5], y = a[7], z = a[3]
With my RUID data the question is
x=1
y=7
z=6
Here is how I do it (Explain everything)
Point of intersection is at (1,7,6) because since they are all constants they all intersect that that point.
Answer: (1,7,6)
