Igor Kriz

Regular problems:

1.

Consider the function tex2html_wrap_inline81 given by tex2html_wrap_inline83 . Suppose tex2html_wrap_inline85 is an inverse function to f, which is defined and has total differential on an open set tex2html_wrap_inline89 . Find the total differential of g at the point tex2html_wrap_inline93 .

2.

Find all the partial derivatives of the function tex2html_wrap_inline95 up to order 3.

3.

Find the tangent plane to the surface in tex2html_wrap_inline99 given in parametric form by

displaymath101

at the point s=2, t=3.

4.

Let tex2html_wrap_inline105 and tex2html_wrap_inline107 be two functions given by:

displaymath109

displaymath111

Compute Df, Dg, tex2html_wrap_inline117 , tex2html_wrap_inline119 .

Challenge problems:

5.

If f(0,0)=0 and

displaymath123

prove that the partial derivatives of f exist at every point of tex2html_wrap_inline127 , although f is not continuous at (0,0).

6.

Suppose tex2html_wrap_inline133 where U is an open set in tex2html_wrap_inline137 . Prove that if all partial derivatives exist and are bounded in U (i.e. all their values are in an interval (-M,M) for some constant M;SPMgt;0), then f is continuous. [Hint: We proved in 295 that if tex2html_wrap_inline147 is a one-variable function in an interval satisfying tex2html_wrap_inline149 everywhere, then |f(x)-f(y)|;SPMlt;M|x-y|. Use this fact.]
