Learning Reminders
- We are in the 13th week of the semester. If you are on track for an A, then ideally you're finishing your SDL project for the 5th unit, and proposed something for the 6th unit.
- There are only 2 weeks left, which means you can submit at most 2 more SDL projects.
- The final SDL project (6th) can be over any topic from the entire semester. You can use it to expand what we do in the 6th unit, or you may choose to revisit something from a prior unit that you would like to spend more time with.
Brain Gains (Rapid Recall)
- For the vector field $\vec F(x,y) = (xe^y,x+y^2)$, compute the derivative $D\vec F(x,y)$.
Solution
We compute the two partial derivatives, namely
- $\vec F_x = (e^y,1)$
- $\vec F_y = (xe^y,2y)$
These vectors are the columns of the derivative of $\vec F$, which means $$D\vec F(x,y) = \begin{bmatrix}e^y&xe^y\\1&2y\end{bmatrix}. $$
- For the function $f(x,y)=x^3+3x^2+y^2+10y$, compute the second derivative.
Solution
Note $\frac{\partial}{\partial x} \vec\nabla f= (6x+6,0)$ and $\frac{\partial}{\partial y}\vec\nabla f = (0,2)$. Placing these vectors into the columns of a matrix gives us $$D^2f(x,y) = \begin{bmatrix}\begin{matrix}6x+6\\0\end{matrix}&\begin{matrix}0\\2\end{matrix}\end{bmatrix}.$$
- Find the critical points of the function $f(x,y)=x^3+3x^2+y^2+10y$.
Solution
There are two critical points, namely $(0,-5)$ and $(-2,-5)$. Note $\vec \nabla f(x,y) = (3x^2+6x,2y+10)$ is the zero matrix precisely when $x=0$ or $x=-2$, and $y=-5$.
- For the function $f(x,y)=x^3+3x^2+y^2+10y$, determine the location of any maxes, mins, or saddles, and classify each location appropriately using eigenvalues.
Solution
At each critical point, we need to (1) evaluate the second derivative, (2) compute the eigenvalues, and (3) classify the point using the eigenvalues.
- At the point $(0,-5)$, the second derivative is $D^2f(0,-5) = \begin{bmatrix}\begin{matrix}6\\0\end{matrix}&\begin{matrix}0\\2\end{matrix}\end{bmatrix}$. The eigenvalues are 6 and 2 (gradient point outwards from the point), which means at $(0,-5)$ we have a minimum.
- At the point $(-2,-5)$, the second derivative is $D^2f(-2,-5) = \begin{bmatrix}\begin{matrix}-6\\0\end{matrix}&\begin{matrix}0\\2\end{matrix}\end{bmatrix}$. The eigenvalues are -6 and 2 (gradient point outwards from the point in one direction, and inwards in another), which means at $(-2,-5)$ we have a saddle point.
Group problems
- Consider the function $f(x,y)= x^3+3xy-y^3$. This function has two critical points, namely $(0,0)$ and $(1,-1)$.
- Compute the gradient $\vec \nabla f(x,y)$.
- Compute both $\vec \nabla f(0,0)$ and $\vec \nabla f(1,-1)$. Your work should show that both $(0,0)$ and $(1,-1)$ are critical points. (What value should you obtain, and do you obtain it?)
- Compute the second derivative $D^2f(x,y)$. The compute both $D^2f(0,0)$ and $D^2f(1,-1)$, the second derivative at these critical points.
- Classify each critical point as a maximum, minimum, or saddle point, by computing the eigenvalues of the second derivative at that point.
- Two objects lie on the $x$-axis. The first object has a mass of 2 kg and is located at the point $x=-1$ (or rather its center of mass is at that point). The second object has a mass of 3 kg and is located at the point $x=4$. Find the center-of-mass of the combined system.
- Find the directional derivative of $f(x,y)=xy^2$ at $P=(4,-1)$ in the direction $(-3,4)$.
- Consider the function $f(x,y,z) = 3xy+z^2$. We'll be analyzing the surface at the point $P=(1,-3,2)$.
- If $dx=0.1$, $dy=0.2$ and $dz=0.3$, then what is $df$ at $P$.
- Find the directional derivative of $f$ at $P$ in the direction $(1,-2,2)$.
- Give an equation of the tangent plane to the level surface of $f$ that passes through $P$.
- Give an equation of the tangent plane to the level surface of $f$ that passes through $(a,b,c)$.
- Give an equation of the tangent plane to $xy+z^2=7$ at the point $P=(-3,-2,1)$. [Check: $(-2)(x-(-3))+(-3)(y-(-2))+2(1)(z-1)=0$. ]
- Give an equation of the tangent plane to $z=f(x,y)=xy^2$ at the point $P=(4,-1,f(4,-1))$. [Check: $z-4 = (-1)^2(x-4)+2(4)(-1)(y-(-1))$.]
