Calc3WS06Fall2021

The document contains a worksheet for Calculus III, focusing on topics such as linearization, tangent planes, and the ideal gas law. It includes problems related to estimating changes in pressure, derivatives using the chain rule, and analyzing critical points of a temperature function on a metal plate. Additionally, it discusses the implications of restricting the domain for finding global extrema of the temperature function.

Worksheet #6, Calculus III, Dr. Hermi

1. Consider the function f (x, y) = ln(1 + 2x + 3y).


(a) Find the linearization L(x, y) (or the local linear approximation) of f (x, y)
at (0, 0).

(b) What is the equation of the tangent plane to the graph of f (x, y) at (0, 0)?

(c) Use differentials, or the linearization you found in part (a), to estimate
without calculator f (1.02, 0.99).

2. According to the ideal gas law, the pressure, temperature, and volume of a
T
confined gas are related by P = k , where k is a constant. Use differentials
V
to approximate the percentage change in pressure if the temperature of a gas
is increased 3% and the volume is increased 5%.

for the function f (x, y, z) = xy 2 z 3 along the path −

5. The temperature (in ◦ C) at a point (x, y) on a metal plate in the xy-plane


is given by
T (x, y) = 2x2 y + 3x − 4y + 30 .
(a) Find all critical points in the whole plane R2 of the function T (x, y) and
determine their type (local minimum, local maximum, or saddle point). Does
the function T (x, y) have an global minimum or a global maximum in R2 ?

(b) Suppose now that the domain of the function T (x, y) is restricted to D =
2
{(x, y) | x4 + y 2 ≤ 1}.
Explain why the function T (x, y) restricted to D will have a global minimum
and a global maximum when restricted to D.
Explain what you would do (even if you might need technology to finish the
work), to find these global minimum and global maximum on D.
