1. Find the local maxima, local minima, and saddle points of

=⇒
x = ±1
y = 0, 4
So, the critical numbers are (−1, 0), (−1, 4), (1, 0), and (1, 4). Let’s
compute more derivatives:
fxx (x, y) = 6x ,
fyy (x, y) = 6y − 12 ,
fxy (x, y) = 0 ,
and D(x, y) = 36x(y − 2). Then:

of the vector field will contribute nothing to the line integral, so

6. Consider the given contour diagram for a function f (x, y).
(a) Is f (x, y) a linear function? Justify.
Solution. Yes, it is, because the
contours are parallel and equally
spaced.
(b) Find an expression for f (x, y).
Solution.
The plane goes
through the origin and the slopes
are m = 1 and n = 3, so its equation is z = x + 3y.
7. Find the angle between the planes 5(x − 1) + 3(y + 2) + 2z = 0 and
x + 3(y − 1) + 2(z + 4) = 0.
Solution. The angle between the planes is the same as the angle
between their normal vectors ~u = 5~i + 3 ~j + 2 ~k and ~v = ~i + 3 ~j + 2 ~k,

10. Find a vector normal to the surface z 2 − 2xyz = x2 + y 2 at (1, 2, −1).
Solution. We can think of the surface as one level surface of
g(x, y, z) = x2 − 2xyz − x2 − y 2 = −2xyz − y 2 .
~
Its gradient is ∇g(x,
y, z) = −2yz ~i − (2xz + 2y) ~j − 2xz ~k, so a vector
perpendicular to the surface at the given point is
