1) T F
1 0 f (x, y) dx dy.
If ~u is a unit vector tangent to f (x, y) = 1 at (0, 0) and f (0, 0) = 1, then
2) T F D~u f (0, 0) is zero.

3) T F Assume f is zero on x = y and x = −y, then (0, 0) is a critical point of f .

If (0, 0) is the only local minimum of a function f and f has no local maxima,
4) T F then (0, 0) is a global minimum.
If (0, 0) is a critical point for f , and fyy (0, 0) < 0 then (0, 0) is not a local
5) T F
minimum.
If f (x, y) and g(x, y) have the same non-constant linearization L(x, y) at
6) T F (0, 0) and f (0, 0) = g(0, 0) = 0, then the level sets f = 0 and g = 0 have
the same tangent line at (0, 0).
7) T F There are saddle points with positive discriminant D > 0.

8) T F If R is the unit disc, then R x2 − y 2 dxdy is zero.

There is a nonzero function f (x, y) for which the linearization L(x, y) is

12) T F (0, 0) is 2.

13) T F If D > 0 at (0, 0) and ∇f (0, 0) = 0 and fxx (0, 0) < 0 then fyy (0, 0) < 0.

The gradient vector ∇f (x0 , y0 ) is a vector which is perpendicular to the

17) T F surface z = f (x, y).

18) T F If |∇f (0, 0)| = 2, then there is a unit vector ~v such that D~v f (0, 0) = 1.

At which point is fx > 0, fy = 0?

any other vector.

The gradient ∇f is always to the surface f = c.
For a Lagrange minimum, ∇g is to ∇f .
If (0, 0) is a min. of f then ∇f (0, 0) is to h1, 0i.
If (0, 0) is max. of f and g = z − f (x, y) then ∇g is to h0, 0, 1i.
Problem 4) (10 points)

A farm costs f (x, y), where x is the number of cows

and y is the number of ducks. There are 10 cows and
20 ducks and f (10, 20) = 1000000. We know that
fx (x, y) = 2x and fy (x, y) = y 2 for all x, y. Estimate
f (12, 19).

”Old MacDonald had a million dollar farm, E-I-E-I-O,

and on that farm he had x = 10 cows, E-I-E-I-O,
and on that farm he had y = 20 ducks, E-I-E-I-O,
with fx = 2x here and fy = y 2 there,
and here two cows more, and there a duck less,
how much does the farm cost now, E-I-E-I-O?”

a) (7 points) A minigolf on the cape has a hole at a local
minimum of the function

f (x, y) = 3x2 + 2x3 + 2y 5 − 5y 2 .

Find all the critical points and classify them.

b) (3 points) A golfer hits tangent to the level curve

f (x, y) = 2 through (1, 1). Find this line.

About minigolf: the first standardized minigolf course appeared in 1916 in North Carolina. The

world record on a round of minigolf is 18 strokes on 18 holes on eternite. No perfect round on

concrete has been scored. The highest prizes reach 5000 dollars only so that nobody is known

to make a living by competing in minigolf.

A circular track near Salem is a circle of radius 500 which

is centered at the origin (0, 0). A go-kart goes counter-
clockwise around the track ~r(t). The cheering intensity
is given by a function f (x, y). The go-kart passes the
point (300, 400) at time t = 0 with velocity h−4, 3i. We
know that fx (300, 400) = 2 and fy (300, 400) = 10. Find

Find the surface area of the ”wormhole”

Einstein-Rosen bridges are hypothetical topologi-

cal constructions which would allow shortcuts through
space-time. Tunnels connecting different parts of the
universe appear frequently in science fiction.
