Time: 1:30 pm –2:00 pm (30 Minutes). Answer All Questions.

1. Let f(x, y, z) = x2 − 2x + y 2 − z.

(a) Show that the equation of the level surface that passes through
the point (1, 0, 3) is z = x2 − 2x + y 2 + 4 . [3 Marks]
(b) Find the domain and range of z. [2 Marks]
(c) Sketch the level curves at z = 3, 4, 5. [3 Marks]
(d) Hence sketch the level surface. [3 Marks]

2. A cuboid having dimensions 20 cm, 30 cm and 60 cm is heated so that each

1
sides is elongated by 20 cm. By using partial derivatives, estimate the increase
in total surface area of the cuboid. [8 Marks]

3. Find all relative extrema and saddle points, if any, on the graph of

z = 4xy − y 4 − x4 .
Hence classify it’s type of extrema. [11 Marks]
