Question 1 [10 marks]

f
Find if f ( x, y, z ) = z ln( x 2 y cos z ) + x sin( xyz ) , where x 2 y cos z  0 .
x

Question 2 [10 marks]

Use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find the points on the sphere
x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = 36 that are closest to and farthest from the point (1, 2, 2) .

Suggestion: Let f ( x, y, z ) = ( x − 1) 2 + ( y − 2) 2 + ( z − 2) 2 .
(Zero marks will be awarded if the method of Lagrange multipliers is not used.)

Question 5 [10 marks]

Let C be the curve of intersection of the sphere x2 + y 2 + z 2 = 8 and the cone

z 2 = x2 + y 2 , z  0 . Find the exact value of the line integral

Question 6 [10 marks]

Let the parametric surface S be

r(u, v) = ui + 2v 2 j + (u 2 + v)k .

Suppose the equation of the tangent plane to the parametric surface S at

( x, y, z ) = (2, 2,3) is Ax − y + Cz = D . Find the values of A , C and D.

Find the exact value of the line integral

 C
P( x, y )dx + Q( x, y )dy ,
(a) if C is the closed curve x 2 + 4 y 2 = 4 , taken in a counterclockwise direction,
(b) if C is the rectangular curve with vertices (4, −3),(4,3),( −4,3) and (−4, −3) ,
taken in a counterclockwise direction.

(Hint: In (a), if ( x, y ) is a point on C , then x 2 + 4 y 2 = 4 . Hence the line integral


can be simplified. The area enclosed by the closed curve x 2 + 4 y 2 = 4 is 2 .)
