(d) We first find ∇f (1, −2) = (fx (1, −2), fy (1, −2)) = (0, −3) and f (1, −2) = 8. 4. The volume is
So near (x, y) = (1, −2), we have Z 2 Z 1 Z 2 y=1
(x2 + y 2 ) dy dx = yx2 + y 3 /3 y=0 dx
z = f (x, y) ≈ f (1, −2) + fx (1, −2)(x − 1) + fy (1, −2)(y + 2) = 8 − 3(y + 2).

(e) We first note that when t = 0, = 2 sin(2t) = 0 and = 3 cos(3t) = 3. x=2
dt dt = x3 /3 + x/3 x=1
Also when t = 0, (x, y) = (− cos(0), sin(0)) = (−1, 0).

(f) A vector in the direction from (1, −2) to (−2, 2) is u = (−2 − 1, 2 − (−2)) = (−3, 4).
Thus a unit vector in this direction is û = 15 (−3, 4).
Then Du f (1, −2) = û · ∇f (1, −2) = 15 (−3, 4) · (0, −3) = − 12
