1. Let f (x, y, z) = x2 + yz 2 + ln(z − y). Find the tangent plane to the level surface
f (x, y, z) = 5 at the point (−1, 1, 2).

2. Find the equation of the tangent plane to the surface z = x2 + ln y at the point (2, 1, 4).

3. By about how much will the function f (x, y, z) = e(x−y) + 2 arctan z change as the point
P (0, 0, 0) moves from the origin a distance ds = 0.2 unit in the direction of v = ~i +~j + 2~k?
2 −1
4. Find the linearization of the function f (x, y) = ey cos(x + 1) + 4x2 at (−1, 1). Then
approximate f (0.2, 0.3) by the linearization.

5. Find the linearization of the function f (x, y, z) = ln x2 + 3 cos(y + z) at (1, π/2, 0).

6. Let f (x, y) = (x − 1) arctan y + y x − 1. Find
a) the total differential of f at (2, 1)
b) if (x, y) moves from (2, 1) to (2.1, 1.3), then estimate the absolute change in f .

7. Find all the local maxima, local minima, and saddle points of the functions:
a) f (x, y) = 10xy + 14x2 − 6x − 12y + 2
b) f (x, y) = −(x − 2)3 − 3(x − 2)(y − 2) + (y − 2)3 + 2

8. Find the absolute maxima and minima of f (x, y) = x2 +xy+y 2 +4 on the closed triangular
plate in the second quadrant bounded by the lines x = 0, y = 3, y = −x.
