Sol.
3 + 3 cos θ ≥ 1 3 cos θ ≥ −2 cos θ ≥ −23
∴ θ range from − cos−1(−23 ) to cos−1(−23 ), Let θ1 = cos−1(−2 3 )

2. (10 %) Assume x > 0. Solve the initial value problem x2y0+ 3y = ln x with y(1) = 0.
Sol.
y0 +3xy = lnxx2
then v(x) = eR 3x = e3 ln x = x3 so
x3y˙0 + x33˙
xy = x ln x we have (y ˙x3)0 = x ln xdx (y ˙x3) = R x ln xdx
using integration by parts, so x3y = 12x2ln x −12R xdx = 12x2ln x −x42 + C and then, y = x13(12x2ln x −x42 + C) = ln x2x −4x1 +xC3
with initial value y(1) = 0 so C = 14
hence y = x13(12x2ln x −x42 + C) = ln x2x − 4x1 + 4x13
3. (20 %) Given the ordinary differential equation y0 = y2(y2− 1).
(a) Identify the equilibrium values and state those which are stable and which are unstable.
(b) Make a phase line of the differential equation and identify the signs of y0 and y00 on it.
(c) Sketch several solution curves.
(d) Solve the equation by separation of variables. An equality in y and t is enough.
Sol.
(a) y2(y2− 1) = 0 ⇔ y = −1, 0, 1
y0 < 0 on (−1, 1) and y0 > 0 on (−∞, −1) and (1, ∞) Hence -1 is stable, and 0,1 are unstable.
(b)
y00 = −2yy0 + 4y3y0 = (4y3− 2y)y0 = (4y3− 2y)y2(y2− 1) = 2y3(2y2− 1)(y2− 1)

4. (15 %) At the point P0(1, 3), a function f (x, y) has a derivative of −√
5 in the direction from P0(1, 3) toward P (2, 1) and a derivative of√
5 in the direction from P0(1, 3) toward P (3, 2).
(a) Find the directions in which the function f increases and decreases most rapidly at P0(1, 3).
Then find the rates of change in these directions. (12%)
(b) Estimate how much the value of f (x, y) will change if the point P (x, y) moves from P0(1, 3) straightly toward P (0, 0) with 0.05 unit. (3%)
Sol.
(a) Let (∇f (x, y))P0 = ∇f (1, 3) = fx(1, 3)i + fy(1, 3)j. By the theorem of the directional derivative, we have the formula:
df ds
u,P0
= (∇f )P0 · u
Since the unit vector from P0(1, 3) toward P (2, 1) is √1
5i −√2
5j and the unit vector from P0(1, 3) toward P (3, 2) is √2
5i −√1
5j, we get
√1
5fx(1, 3) − √2
5fy(1, 3) = −√ 5
√2
5fx(1, 3) − √15fy(1, 3) =√ 5
⇒
fx(1, 3) = 5 fy(1, 3) = 5
Thus, the direction in which the function f increases most rapidly at P0(1, 3) is
∇f (1, 3)
|∇f (1, 3)| = 1
√2i + 1
√2j,
and the rate of change in this direction is |∇f |P0 =√
52+ 52 = 5√ 2.
The direction in which the function f decreases most rapidly at P0(1, 3) is
− ∇f (1, 3)
|∇f (1, 3)| = − 1
√2i − 1
√2j,
and the rate of change in this direction is −|∇f |P0 = −√
52+ 52 = −5√ 2.
(b) Since the unit vector from P0(1, 3) straightly toward P (0, 0) is u = −√1
10i −√3
10j, we get
df = (∇f |P0 · u)(ds) = (5i + 5j) ·

6. (10 %) Assume f (x, y) = 3xy2− x3−6
5y5. Find all the local maximum, local minimum and saddle points of f . Please still determine the types of critical points even if the second derivative test is inconclusive.
Sol.
fx = 3y2− 3x2 = 0 fy = 6xy − 6y4 = 0
⇒
x = ±y
x = y3 or y = 0
⇒ (x, y) = (0, 0), (−1, −1), (1, 1)
Second derivative test:
fxx = −6x, fyy = 6x − 24y3, fxy = 6y = fyx
Hf =
fxx fxy fyx fyy
= fxxfyy− fxy2 = −36(x2− 4xy3 + y2)
(0, 0) : Hf(0, 0) = 0 ⇒ inconclusive,
consider f (x, 0) = −x3 ⇒ f (x, 0) > 0 when x < 0, f (x, 0) < 0 when x > 0
⇒ (0, 0) is a saddle point.
(−1, −1) : Hf(−1, −1) = 72 > 0 and fxx(−1, −1) = 6 > 0
⇒ (−1, −1) is a local minimum point.
(1, 1) : Hf(1, 1) = 72 > 0 and fxx(1, 1) = −6 < 0
⇒ (1, 1) is a local maximum point.
7. (20 %) Suppose Γ is the intersection curve of x + y + 2z = 2 and z2 = 2x2+ 2y2. (a) Find the tangent line of Γ at (1
2,−1 2 , 1).
(b) Find all the points on Γ that lie closest and farthest from the origin.
Sol.
(a) Let f (x, y, z) = x + y + 2z − 2, g(x, y, z) = 2x2+ 2y2− z2, P = (12, −12, 1)
∇f = (1, 1, 2), ∇f |P = (1, 1, 2)
∇g = (4x, 4y, −2z), ∇g|P = (2, −2, −2) The direction of tangent vector of Γ is
∇f |P × ∇g|P = (1, 1, 2) × (2, −2, −2) = (2, 6, −4) The tangent line of Γ at (12,−12 , 1) is
x = 12 + 2t y = −12 + 6t z = 1 − 4t
t ∈ R
(b)
d(x, y, z) = x2+ y2+ z2, ∇d = λ∇f + s∇g and f = 0, g = 0 ⇒
2x = λ + 4sx 2y = λ + 4sy 2z = 2λ − 2sz f = 0
g = 0
⇒
(2 − 4s)x = λ (2 − 4s)y = λ (2 + 2s)z = λ 2x2+ 2y2− z2 = 0 x + y + 2z − 2 = 0
Case1. (2 − 4s) = 0 ⇒ λ = 0 ⇒ z = 0 ⇒
2x2+ 2y2 = 0 x + y = 2
⇒ x = y = 0 and x + y = 2, no solution
Case2. (2 − 4s) 6= 0 ⇒ x = y ⇒
4x2 = z2 2x + 2z = 2
⇒ z = ±2x and 2x + 2z = 2 If z = 2x ⇒ (x, y, z) = (13,13,23)
If z = −2x ⇒ (x, y, z) = (−1, −1, 2) At (x, y, z) = (13,13,23) ⇒ d = 23 At (x, y, z) = (−1, −1, 2) ⇒ d = 6
So (13,13,23) is the closest point from (0, 0, 0) So (−1, −1, 2) is the farthest point from (0, 0, 0)
