Math 200 Chapter 14 Formula Sheet

14.3
Tangent Plane to a surface at (a,b)
z = f (a, b) + f x(a, b)(x − a) + f y(a, b)(y − b)

The Differential of a function


df = f x(a, b)dx + f y(a, b)dy

14.4
Directional Derivative of f at (a,b) in the Direction of a unit vector u
f (a + hu1, b + hu2) = f (a,b)
f u(a, b) = lim h , where u = u​1​i + u​2​j
h→0
Or
f u(a, b) = f x(a, b)u1 + f y(a, b)u2
v
If u isn’t a unit vector and just a vector then: u = ||v||

The Gradient Vector of f(x,y)


g rad f (a, b) = f x(a, b)i + f y(a, b)j

14.5
The Gradient Vector of f(x,y,z)
g rad f = f x()i + f y()j + f z()k

Tangent Plane to a Level Surface


f x(a, b, c)(x − a) + f y(a, b, c)(y − b) + f z(a, b, c)(z − c) = 0

14.6
If f,g, and h are differentiable and if z=f(x,y), and x = g(t), and y = h(t), then,
dz dz dx dz dy
dz = dx dt + dy dt

If f,g, and h are differentiable and if z=f(x,y), and x = g(u,v), and y = h(u,v), then,
dz dz dx dz dy
du = dx du + dy du
dz dz dx dz dy
dv = dx dv + dy dv

14.7
(The exercises only ever used Degree 2)
Taylor Polynomial of Degree 1 Approx f(x,y) near (0,0)
L(x, y ) = f (0, 0) + f x(0, 0)x + f y(0, 0)y

Taylor Polynomial of Degree 2 Approx f(x,y) near (0,0)


f xx(0,0)x2 f yy(0,0)y 2
Q(x, y ) = f (0, 0) + f x(0, 0)x + f y(0, 0)y + 2 + f xy(0, 0)xy + 2

Taylor Polynomial of Degree 1 Approx f(x,y) near (a,b)


L(x, y ) = f (a, b) + f x(a, b)(x − a) + f y(a, b)(y − b)

Taylor Polynomial of Degree 2 Approx f(x,y) near (a,b)


f xx(a,b)(x−a)2 f yy(a,b)(y−b)2
Q(x, y ) = f (a, b) + f x(a, b)(x − a) + f y(a, b)(y − a) + 2 + f xy(a, b)(x − a)(y − b) + 2
