Name: Student ID: 13.7 Use the exact value f (P ) and the differential df to approximate the value f (Q).

Write your answer on extra sheet of paper, if necessary

Homework 5 of Matb 210 (Hand in to TA Wang Zhibo in Tutorial) due on 17. f (x, y) = x2 + y 2 ; P (3, 4), and Q(2.97, 4.04)
22/9/2014(Mon) for matb210-002, on 24/9/2014(Wed) for matb210-003. f (x, y) = f f
x i + y j = (
2x2 2 , 2y2 2 ), and f (P ) = f (3, 4) = ( 35 , 45 ).

13.6 Find the differential of the following functions: f (Q) = f (3 0.03, 4 + 0.04), (where h is a vector = (0.03, 0.04) )
1. f (x, y) = 3x2 + 4xy 2y 2 : = f (P + h) = f (P ) + f (P ) h + higher order terms in h
f f f (P ) + f (P ) h
differential df = dx + dy = (6x + 4y)dx + (4x 4y)dy. = f (3, 4) + f (3, 4) (0.03, 0.04) = 5 + ( 35 , 45 ) (0.03, 0.04) = 5 + 0.07
x y 5 .
Remarks. (i) If u = f (x, y, z) is a function of 3 variables, then du ( or df if one
18. f (x, y) = x2 y 2 ; P (13, 5), and Q(13.2, 4.9)
just want to indicate the function f rather the dependent variable u ), then
f f f
df = dx + dy + dz.

(ii) one should think of the (component) differentials dx, dy, dz is another symbol
the canonical basis vectors i, j and k.
7. f (x, y, z) = log(x2 + y 2 + z 2 ), then by chain rule of one variable, one has 19. f (x, y) = 1

26. ( 26)( 3 28)( 4 17)

8. f (x, y, z) = sin(xyz), df = dx + dy + dz.

27. e0.4 = exp(1.12 0.92 )

x+y f (x y)( ) (x + y)( )

14. f (x, y) = xy , = = ,

16. f (x, y, z) = xyz exp(x2 y 2 z 2 ),

df = exp(x2 y 2 z 2 )( dx + dy + dz).
