Math 1c Spring 2012 HOMEWORK SET 2 DUE AT 3PM ON MONDAY, APRIL 16

Note: Exercises are from Sections 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5 of Vector Calculus by Marsden and Tromba. Each numbered exercise is worth 10 pts, except for number (1) which is worth 20. (1) Find f and f forthe following functions: x y (a) f (x, y) = x cos x cos y (b) f (x, y) = (x2 + y 2 )(log(x2 + y 2 )) (c) f (x, y) = exy log(x2 + y 2 ) (d) f (x, y) = x y (2) Find the equation of the tangent plane to the graph of f at the point (a, b, f (a, b)) for (a) f (x, y) = x cos x cos y and (a, b) = (0, ). (b) f (x, y) = (x2 + y 2 ) log(x2 + y 2 ) and (a, b) = (0, 1) (Note that you have computed the partials of these f in the previous exercise.) (3) Compute the matrix of partial derivatives of (a) f : R3 R2 , f (x, y, z) = (x + ez + y, yx2 ) (b) f : R2 R3 , f (x, y) = (xyexy , x sin y, 5xy 2 ) (4) Where does the plane tangent to z = exy at (1, 1, 1) meet the z-axis? (5) If the position of a particle in space at time t is given by (6t, 3t2 , t3 ), the what is its velocity vector at t = 0? (6) Suppose that a particle is following the path c(t) = (sin(et ), t, 4 t3 ) and then at time t = 1 ies o on the tangent. Where will it be at time t = 2? (7) Use the chain rule to compute h in each of the following cases (assuming that the other x functions are all dierentiable). (a) h(x, y) = f (x, u(x, y)) (b) h(x) = f (x, u(x), v(x)) (c) h(x, y, z) = f (u(x, y, z), v(x, y), w(x)) (8) Suppose f : R3 R is dierentiable. Making the substition x = cos sin , y = sin sin ,
f f , ,

z = cos and
f

(spherical coordinates) into f (x, y, z) compute

in terms of

f f x , y ,

and

f z .

(9) Find s (f T )(1, 0), where f (u, v) = cos u sin v and T : R2 R2 is dened by T (s, t) = (cos(t2 s), log 1 + s2 ).
