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 187005703
a[1]= 1 , a[2]= 8 , a[3]= 7, a[4]=0 , a[5]= 0, a[6]= 5, a[7]= 7, a[8]= 0, a[9]= 3

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
x^1+y^8+z^7+a(0)*x*y*z^2 = 3+0
Here is how I do it (Explain everything)
Ans.: dz/dy = 8y^7 + 7z^6dz/dy = 0
---------------------------------------------
Problem 2:
Suppose that grad(f)(P)=. Is f increasing or decreasing at the direction ?
With my RUID data the question is
Here is how I do it (Explain everything)
Ans.:
---------------------------------------------
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
x^15 + y^21 + z^0
Here is how I do it (Explain everything)
First I found the gradient f the function:
D/dx = 15x^14
D/dy = 21y^20
D/dz = 0
grad = (15(1)^14, 21(-1)^20, 0) = (15, 21, 0)
Next the unit vector in the given direction:
||(1, -1, 3)|| = √(1^2 + (-1)^2 + 3^2) = √(1+1+9) = √(11)
Unit vector---->(1/√11, -1/√11, 3/√11)
Now the dot product:
(15, 21, 0)•(1/√11, -1/√11, 3/√11) = 15-21+0/√11 = -6/√11 or -(6√11)/11
Ans.: -(6√11)/11
---------------------------------------------
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
Here is how I do it (Explain everything)
Ans.:
---------------------------------------------
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
Here is how I do it (Explain everything)
Ans.:
---------------------------------------------
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
Here is how I do it (Explain everything)
---------------------------------------------
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, 8*t, 7*t^2] At the point (1,0,0)
We get point (1,0,0) when t=0
Here is how I do it (Explain everything)
r'(t) = [0, 8, 14t]
r''(t) = [0, 0, 14]
||r'(t)|| = √0+64+(14t)^2 = √64+196t^2
Cross product:
i(8*14) - j(0) + k(0) = 112i
r'(t) x r''(t) = [112, 0, 0]
||r'(t) x r''(t)|| = √112^2+0+0 = 112
k(t)= 112/(64+196t^2)^3/2
k(0)= 112/(64^(3/2)) = 7/32
Curvature at given point is 7/32
---------------------------------------------
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
Here is how I do it (Explain everything)
---------------------------------------------
Problem 9:
A certain function depends on variables x and y
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
Here is how I do it (Explain everything)
---------------------------------------------
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 = 0, y = 7, z = 7
Here is how I do it (Explain everything)
Thinking of this geometrically and drawing the planes on paper, the intersection should be (0,7,7)
