(b) (5%) Find the approximate value of f (0.98, 1.02, −0.97).
(c) (5%) Find the plane tangent to the level surface through p defined by f (x, y, z) = f (p) = 3.
(d) (5%) If a bird flies through p directly to the point (2, −1, 1) with speed 5, what is the rate of change of f as seen by the bird at p?

(c) Notice that f (p) = f (1, 1, −1) = 3, which means that the plane tangent to the level surface is the tangent plane of f (x, y, z) at the point p. Therefore, the tangent plane equation is
2(x − 1) + (y − 1) − 4(z + 1) = 0 (5%) (d) The unit vector u from point p = (1, 1, −1) to point q = (2, −1, 1) is
u = q − p

6. (12%) Find the local extreme values and saddle points of f (x, y) = x2y − xy2+xy − y2.
Solution:
{ fx= 2xy − y2+y = y(2x − y + 1) = 0 ⋯(∗) fy= x2−2xy + x − 2y = (x + 1)(x − 2y) = 0 ⋯() For (∗):
i. If y = 0, then x(x + 1) = 0 from () ⇒ x = 0 or −1.
Hence, we have (0, 0), (−1, 0).
ii. If y = 2x + 1, then 3x2+5x + 2 = 0 from () ⇒ x = −1 or −2 3. Hence, we have (−1, −1), (−2
3, −1 3).
Note that we can get the same result by considering (). Therefore, the critical points are (0, 0), (−1, 0), (−1, −1), (−23, −13). (1% for each point)
Since
fxx=2y, fxy=fyx=2x − 2y + 1, fyy= −2x − 2, we now have
D(x, y) = fxxfyy−fxy2 = −4(x + 1)y − (2x − 2y + 1)2.
i. D(0, 0) = −1 < 0 ⇒ (0, 0) is a saddle point. (2%)
ii. D(−1, 0) = −1 < 0 ⇒ (−1, 0) is a saddle point. (2%)
iii. D(−1, −1) = −1 < 0 ⇒ (−1, −1) is a saddle point. (2%)

Solution:
Let g(x, y) = 2x2−2xy + y2−1 = 0 By applying the method of Lagrange multipliers, we need to solve
∇f = λ∇g [2 points] and g(x, y) = 0

(1 points per coefficient in (1)(2))
Clearly, x ≠ 0, y ≠ 0, λ ≠ 0, or g(x, y) fails to be 0. So, dividing (1) by (2) gives 3x
−2y = 2x − y
−x + y ⇒ 3x2−7xy + 2y2=0 (3x − y)(x − 2y) = 0 ∴ 3x = y or x = 2y
