Question Two (20 Marks)
(a) Discuss the continuity of the following function at point (0, π) [4 Marks]
cos(3y) sin(2x)
if (x, y) ̸= (0, π)
x
f (x, y) =
2 cos(y) if (x, y) = (0, π)
(c) A space probe in the shape of the ellipsoid 4x2 +y 2 +4z 2 = 16 enters the earth’s atmosphere
and its surface begins to heat. After one hour, the temperature at point (x, y, z) on the
probe’s surface is T (x, y, z) = 8x2 + 4yz − 16z + 600. By means of the Lagrange multiplier,
find the hottest points on the probe’s surface. [8 Marks]
i) Directly [4 Marks]
ii) Using Green’s theorem in the plane. [4 Marks]

(c) Using divergence theorem, evaluate F⃗ · n̂dS where F⃗ = z î + y ĵ + xk̂ and S is the
S
surface of the unit sphere x2 + y 2 + z 2 = 1. (Sketch the sphere) [6 Marks]
