Due Thursday, June 7th
  • First, one problem from class with 3 parts:
    • a) Find the normal vector to the tangent plane to f(x,y) at (x_0, y_0) by using our equation for L(x,y).
    • b) Find the equations for both tangent lines to f(x,y) at (x_0, y_0) in the x and y directions.
    • c) Show that the tangent plane contains both lines.
  • Chapter 14, Section 6:   9, 22, 42
  • Note for #22: As you might be able to tell from reading the examples in this section, we will have more to say about this type of problem later. However another way to think about this type of problem is that it is closely related to evaluating L(x,y,z) at the right point.
Due Tuesday, June 12th
  • Chapter 14, Section 7:   10, 34, 51*
  • Note for #51: one solves this problem by finding the local min of f(x,y,z)=x^2+y^2+z^2 (no need to justify this, but it is worth convincing yourself it is the right thing to do).
