Differentiating with respect to y, we get, let zy(x,y)=dz(x,y)/dy 8*y^7+6*z(x,y)^5*zy(x,y)+x*z(x,y)^2+2*x*y*z*zy(x,y) = 0 Plugging-in x=1,y=1,z=1, set get , let z1=z_y(1,1) 8*z1+9 = 0 Solving for zy(1,1) , aka z1, we get -9/8 --------------------------------------------- With my RUID data the question is --------------- Problem 2: Suppose that grad(f)(P) is [1, -1, 3] If f increasing or decreasint at the direction [1, 6, -1] Here is how I do it (Explain everything) Since we only care about the SIGN of the directional derivative, we don't have to normalize the direction The dot product is -8 Since it is NEGATIVE it is DECREASING DECREASING --------------------------------------------- With my RUID data the question is Problem 3: Find the directional derivative of the function f(x,y,z) 4*x^3+6*y^3+4*z^3 At the point P=(1,-1,1) in the direction pointing to Q=(1,-1,3) Here is how I do it (Explain everything) The gradient is 2 2 2 [12 x , 18 y , 12 z ] Pluging in x=1, y=-1, z=1, we get [12, 18, 12] The vector PQ is <0,0,2> dividing by its magnitude we have the unit vector <0,0,1> Taking the dot prodcut of , [12, 18, 12], and <0,0,1> we get 12 Ans.:, 12 --------------------------------------------- With my RUID data the question is Problem 4: Find a saddle point of the function f(x,y)= exp(x - 1) - (x - 1) exp(y - 4) If there is no saddle point, write in the Answer "Done Not exist". Explain what you are doing Here is how I do it (Explain everything) We first take the first derivatives f_x, f_y f_x is exp(x - 1) - exp(y - 4) f_y is -(x - 1) exp(y - 4) For future reference we take f_xx,f_xy, f_yy f_xx is exp(x - 1) f_xy is -exp(y - 4) f_yy is -(x - 1) exp(y - 4) We have to solve the system of two equations {-(x - 1) exp(y - 4) = 0, exp(x - 1) - exp(y - 4) = 0} In the two unknowns , {x, y} There is only one solutin {x = 1, y = 4} Plugging in (x,y)=, [1, 4] That fxx is exp(0) That fxy is -1 That fyy is 0 The discrimiant is -1 Since this is negative it follows that the critical point, [1, 4] is a saddle point Ans.: , [1, 4] --------------------------------------------- With my RUID data the question is Problem 5: Let f(x,y) be the function x + y + 8 Find the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM VALUE of f(x,y) INSIDE the TRIANGLE whose VERTICES ARE A = [1, 8], B = [6, 1], C = [1, 4] Here is how I do it (Explain everything) Since the function f(x,y) is LINEAR, there are no local max or min points, and not even on the edges Hence the FINALISTS are the points A = [1, 8], B = [6, 1], C = [1, 4] The VALUE of f(A) is , 17 The VALUE of f(B) is , 15 The VALUE of f(C) is , 13 picking the SMALLEST among, 17, 15, 13 We get that the ABSOLUTE (aks GLOBAL) MINIMUM VALUE is 13 Ans.: , 13 --------------------------------------------- With my RUID data the question is Problem 6: Let f(x,y) be the function 2 2 x - y ------- x - y Find the LIMIT of f(x,y) as (x,y) goes to the point, [1, 1], or show that it does not exist Here is how I do it Both top and bottom are 0 at the designated point, [1, 1], BUT SIMPLIFYING gives x + y NOW IT IS CONTINUOUS everywhere, so plugging-in, x = 1, y = 1 we get, 2 Ans.:, 2 --------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------- With my RUID data the question is Here is how I do it (Explain everything) Problem 7: Find the curvatute of the curve 2 r(t) = [1, 8 t, 6 t ] At the point (a[1],0,0) Here is how I do it We first find the value of t. It is t=0 r'(t) is [0, 8, 12 t] r''(t) is [0, 0, 12] But we care about t=0 so r'(0) is [0, 8, 0] = 8 j r''(0) is [0, 0, 12] = 12 k r'(0) x r''(0) is, 96 i whose magnitude is, 96 |r'(0)|^3 is, 512 Since the cruvatute at t=0 is |r'(0)x r''(0)|/|r'(0)|^3, we get that the answer is 3/16 --------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------- With my RUID data the question is Problem 8: A particle is moving in the plane with ACCELERATION given by [-sin(t), -8*cos(t)] At time t=0 its position is , [0, 8] and its velocity is , [1, 0] Where is it located at time , t = Pi Here is how I do it (Explain everything) The velocity v(t) is obtained by INTEGRATING a(t) with respect to t, getting [cos(t), -8*sin(t)]+C Where C is a constant vector. But since the velocity is, [1, 0], at t=0, we get that C=[0,0] So the velocity is [cos(t), -8 sin(t)] The POSITION, r(t), is obtained by INTEGRATING the velocicty w.r.t. t, getting that it equals [sin(t), 8 cos(t)] + C where C is another constant vector Since the position is, [0, 8], at t=0 , we get that C=[0,0], so the position in general is [sin(t), 8 cos(t)] [sin(t), 8 cos(t)] Finally, plugging-in t=Pi , we get [0, -8] --------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------- With my RUID data the question is --------------------------------------------- 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, 1 and the rate of change of the function with respect to y is, 1 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, 1 How fast is the function changing right now? We use the CHAIN rule (df/dt)=(df/dx)*(dx/dt)+ (df/dy)*(dy/dt) We have (RIGHT NOW) df/dx=, 1 df/dy=, 1 dx/dt=, 1 dy/dt=, 1 Hence the rate of change of the function is 2 Ans.:, 2 --------------------------------------------- With my RUID data the question is --------------------------------------------- Problem 10: Find the point of intersection of the three planes x = 1, y = 1, z = 6 Here is how I do it (Explain everything) Obviously it is the point, [1, 1, 6]
