QUIZ 2 SAMPLE PROBLEMS 

(1) Calculate the partial derivatives fx and fy of f(x, y) = ln( 

x3−y3 

1−y ). 

(2) Find the equation of the tangent plane of f(x, y) = x2 + y2 + 3x + 2y + 1 

at the point (1, 2). 

(3) Let f(x, y) = x2y + sin(xy). Show that fxy = fyx. 

(4) Evaluate the following limit, or show that it does not exist. 

lim 

(x,y)→(0,0) 

x2y + y3 

x2 + y2 

. 

(5) Evaluate the following limit, or show that it does not exist. 

lim 

(x,y)→(0,0) 

2x3 + 3y2 

x2 + y2 

. 

(6) The level curve ex−y + x2 − y = 1 defines y as a function of x around the 

point P = (0, 0). Find dy/dx at P. 

(7) A particle moves on a surface whose equation is 

z = f(x, y) = (x− 1)2 + y2. 

Assume that the x and y coordinates of the particle at time t are given by 

x = 2 cos t and y = 2 sin t , where 0 ≤ t ≤ 2pi. Use the total derivative rule 

to show that the rate of change of the height of the particle above the xy 

plane is given by 

dz 

dt 

= 4 sin t. 

Hence find the maximum value of the height and the coordinates (x, y, z) 

of the particle when the maximum occurs. 

(8) The build up of minerals on the inner wall of a pipe has reduced its capacity 

to carry liquid. If the pipe has an elliptical cross section with semimajor 

axis 4 cm and semiminor axis 3 cm and the unwanted coating is 0.05 cm 

thick, use differentials to estimate the reduction in cross sectional area. 

(The area of an ellipse with semimajor axis a and semiminor axis b is piab.)
