2. The surfaces

xz4 − x3 y2 + 2yz = 2 and 3x2 z − yz3 − x2 y2 = 1

both pass through the point (1, 1, 1). Find the unique line in parametric form which is
tangent to both surfaces at the point (1, 1, 1). (Hint: the direction of this line must be
perpendicular to the gradients of the surfaces at (1, 1, 1).)

Following the hint we will first compute the gradients at these points.

∇F(x, y, z) = hz4 − 3x2 y2 , −2x3 y + 2z, 4xz3 + 2yi ∇F(1, 1, 1) = h−2, 0, 6i

∇G(x, y, z) = h6xz − 2xy2 , −z3 − 2x2 y, 3x2 − 3yz2 i ∇G(1, 1, 1) = h4, −3, 0i

The direction of this line must be perpendicular to both of these and so now we take
the cross product to get the direction.
 
 i j k 
 

h−2, 0, 6i × h4, −3, 0i =  −2 0 6  = 0 − (−18), 24 − 0, 6 − 0 = h18, 24, 6i.
 4 −3 0 

This is the direction of the line, and since this only matters up to scale for convenience
we will use the vector h3, 4, 1i (though not needed). Finally, since we know the line also
passes through the point (1, 1, 1), we have both point and direction and so the parametric
form is as follows:
x = 1 + 3t
y = 1 + 4t
z = 1+ t
3. Find the directional derivative of

g(x, y, z) = x2 y − 3xz + 5y + 7z

at the point (−1, −1, −1) in the direction which goes from (−1, −1, −1) towards the point
(5, 1, 8).

The formula for the directional derivative is Du g(P) = ∇g(P) · u, where u is a unit
vector giving the direction of the derivative and P is the point at which the derivative
will occur (in our case (−1, −1, −1)). So we need to find u and the gradient evaluated at
the point.
First, for u we note that we are given points A = (−1, −1, −1) and B = (5, 1, 8) so that

~ = 5 − (−1), 1 − (−1), 8 − (−1) = h6, 2, 9i.


AB

This however is not a unit vector, so next we find the magnitude and scale, i.e.,

√ √ ~
AB 1
~ =
kAB 36 + 4 + 81 = 121 = 11 so u= = h6, 2, 9i.
~
kABk 11

Second, we now work out the gradient.

∇g(x, y, z) = h2xy − 3z, x2 + 5, −3x + 7i ∇g(−1, −1, −1) = h5, 6, 10i.

Combining we finally get the following:

1 30 + 12 + 90 132
Du g(P) = ∇g(−1, −1, −1) · u = h5, 6, 10i · h6, 2, 9i = = = 12
11 11 11
4. Find and classify all of the critical points for the function

f(x, y) = ey (y2 − x2 ).

First we find the critical points which means we need to know when the partial
derivatives are zero, so we first compute the partial derivatives.

fx (x, y) = −2xey
fy (x, y) = ey (y2 − x2 ) + ey (2y) = ey (y2 − x2 + 2y)

The first equation is 0 only when x = 0, thus the second equation is 0 only when y2 +2y =
0 or y(y + 2) = 0 or y = 0, −2. Therefore the critical points are at (0, 0) and (0, −2).

2
To classify the points we need to look at D(x, y) = fxx (x, y)fyy (x, y) − fxy (x, y) , so
we compute the second order partial derivatives.

fxx (x, y) = −2ey

fxy (x, y) = fyx (x, y) = −2xey
fyy (x, y) = ey (y2 − x2 + 2y) + ey (2y + 2) = ey (y2 − x2 + 4y + 2)

So that

2
D(x, y) = (−2ey ) ey (y2 − x2 + 4y + 2) − − 2xey = e2y − 2(y2 − x2 + 4y + 2) − 4x2 .

Putting in the critical points D(0, 0) = −4 < 0 so that (0, 0) is a saddle, while D(0, −2) =
4e−4 > 0 so is a local max or min. In the latter case we note that fxx (0, −2) = −2e−2 < 0
so that (0, −2) is a local max.
Therefore we have the following:

Critical Pt. Type

(0, 0) Saddle
(0, −2) Local max
5. Let R be the region between the origin and the curve r = θ
for 0 6 θ 6 π (show to the right). A lamina based on R has
density δ(x, y) = 1. Find
ZZ
(x2 + y2 ) δ(x, y) dA,
R

i.e., the moment of inertia of R with respect to the z-axis.

The requested integral is given to us and we note that x2 + y2 = r2 , similarly we can

use the description of the region to set up the integral. And so we have the following:
Zπ Zθ Zπ r=θ Zπ θ=π
2 1 4  1 4 1 5  1 5
r · 1 · r dr dθ = r  dθ = θ dθ = θ  = π

6. Compute the integral
Z 1 Z 1−y3
3
(x + y3 )ey(x+y ) dx dy
0 −y3

by carrying out the following change of variables: u = y and v = x + y3 .

As the problem indicates, this is a change of variables problem. First we can solve
for x and y in terms of u and v to get the following:

x = v − y3 = v − u 3
y=u

With this we need to work on three parts: (1) Jacobian; (2) function; (3) bounds. For
the Jacobian we have
 ∂x ∂y   
  −3u2 1 
 = | − 1| = 1.

 ∂u ∂u
J(u, v) =  ∂x ∂y  = 
  
∂v
1
∂v
0 

For the function we note using the form of u and v given in the statement of the problem
we get
3
(x + y3 )ey(x+y ) = veuv .
Finally the bounds of our original integral are 0 6 y 6 1 and −y3 6 x 6 1 − y3 . Or
in other words the curves y = 0, y = 1, x + y3 = 0 and x + y3 = 1 which translate
(respectively) to the curves u = 0, u = 1, v = 0 and v = 1. Therefore our next bounds are
0 6 u 6 1 and 0 6 v 6 1 (i.e., a 1 × 1 square). Combining all three of these parts together
we can conclude
Z 1 Z 1−y3 Z1 Z1 Z1 Z1
3 y(x+y3 ) uv
(x + y )e dx dy = ve du dv or veuv dv du.
0 −y3 0 0 0 0

The latter of which depends on which order we want to do the integration in. Now for
our case it is easiest to first integrate with respect to u and then to v (i.e., if we did v first
we would get into an unpleasant integration by parts problem). So finally we are ready
to compute the integral and get the following:
Z 1 Z 1−y3 Z1 Z1
3 y(x+y3 )
(x + y )e dx dy = veuv du dv
0 −y3 0 0
Z1 u=1

7. For 0 6 t 6 1 let C be the parametric curve t cos(2πt), sin( 12 πt) . Find
Z
2xy + 2x dx + x2 + ey dy.



C

This involves a line integral. We note that the endpoints are (0, 0) (at t = 0) and
(1, 1) (at t = 1). Since the end and starting points do not match we cannot use Green’s
Theorem, but it might be conservative, so let’s check:

∂ 2 ∂
x + ey = 2x



2xy + 2x = 2x.
∂x ∂y

These are the same so it is conservative, woohoo! In particular we now need to determine
f(x, y) so that
f(x, y, z) = 2xy + 2x.x2 + ey .



∂f
From the first term (i.e., ∂x
) we can conclude that

f(x, y) = x2 y + x2 + C(y)

for some function C(y). On the other hand we have

∂f
x2 + C 0 (y) = = x2 + ey .
∂y

So that C 0 (y) = eRy or C(y) = ey . So we can conclude that f(x, y) = x2 y + x2 + ey .

Finally, since C ∇f · dr = f(b) − f(a) (i.e., line integrals of conservative functions are
easy) we conclude the following:
Z

(1,1)

2 y 2 2 y
(2xy + 2x) dx + (x + e ) dy = x y + x + e  = (1 + 1 + e) − (0 + 0 + 1) = e + 1
C (0,0)
8. Let T be the solid which consists of the points satisfying

z > 0, x2 + y2 > 1, and x2 + y2 + z2 6 4

(i.e., this is the top half of a sphere of radius 2 which has had a hole drilled through the
middle). Find the following flux across the boundary of the solid T ,
ZZ

−x
e + xz, arctan x + z), ze−x + sin(y2 ) · n dS.

∂T

(Hint: express the solid in terms of cylindrical coordinates.)

Since this involves the flux across the boundary we can use Gauss’ Divergence Theo-
rem. So we have that this is equal to
ZZZ  
∂ −x
∂
∂ −x 2


e + xz + arctan(x + z) + ze + sin(y ) dV
∂x ∂y ∂z
T
ZZZ ZZZ
−x −x


= (−e + z) + (0) + (e + 0) dV = z dV.
T T

Next we need to describe this region. By the hint we should go with cylindrical
coordinates. This is symmetrical around the z-axis and so we have 0 6 θ 6 2π. We
also have that r2 > 1 (i.e., r > 1) and that we are inside the sphere of radius 2 so
that we can conclude that 1 6 r 6 2. For √ z we note that we go from z = 0 up to
2 2 2 2
z = 4 − (x + y ) = 4 − r , i.e., 0 6 z 6 4 = r2 . Combining this altogether (and
remembering dV = r dz dr dθ) we have the following:
