Math 121.G  / Fall 2020

Homework

The "assigned" dates for HW on this website are approximate.
The rule as to when each HW is actually assigned is stated in the Syllabus:
HW for a section is assigned on the day when we have finished covering that section in class.


HW # 1 

Assigned:  08/31  (All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via WebAssign.)
Sec. 12.1:  ##  3, 12, 15, 23, 25, 29.



HW # 2 
Assigned:  08/31 
  (All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via WebAssign.)
Sec. 12.2:  ##   3, 9, 13, 43, 15, 16, 25, 26, 31, 33, 35, 45(only a-c in book), 47.
                       Notes for # 45:   -  For your own benefit, you should do the separate step (b)
                                                   described in the book even though WA combined this step with (c).

                                                -  To find approximate values of  s  and  t, you need to sketch the
                                                    given vectors  a, b,  and  c, as well as the resulting parallelogram,
                                                    accurately. Then, measure the lengths of vectors and the parallelogram's
                                                    sides with a ruler, preferably one with the millimeter scale.


HW # 3 
Assigned:  09/01 
  (All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via WebAssign.)
T/F Quiz at the end of Chap. 12 (p. 842):   ## 1, 3, 19, 8;
Note:   These are problems from the True/False (T/F) Quiz, NOT from Concept Check. Here is an easy way to tell that you are doing a problem from a wrong part, e.g., from Concept check intsead of T/F quiz or Review Exercises, or vice versa. For example, if you have started, by mistake, to do # 3 in Review Exercises, you notice that it is asking a question that is clearly not covered in Sec. 12.3, which is what this HW is on. Then, instead of trying to find an answer in Sec. 12.4 (if you can guess it) or give up, you should realize that you are attempting a problem that was not actually assigned.

Sec. 12.3:  ##   1, 7, 9, 14, 20, 55, 23, 40, 41, 45, 46, 48;
 Review Exercises at the end of Chap. 12 (p. 843)
                #  9.
                    Note for ## 40, 41:   In addition to finding the numbers for the answers,
                                                   sketch the two given vectors in the same plane
                                                   and  also sketch the  required projection.
                                                   (Consult figures in pp. 2-3, 2-4 of posted notes
                                                    as well as Figs. 4, 6 in the textbook.)
                                                   Clarification:  Your sketch should be a simple 2D drawing;
                                                   so please disregard the z-coordinate in your sketch
                                                   even though it may be provided in the problem.
                    Answer for # 40:   component = 14/sqrt[17];  projection = 14/17 *<1,4>.
                    Note for # 45:     Note that the given formula,
orthab = b - projab, defines the
                                              orthogonal projection 
orthab  in terms of the
                                              "usual" projection 
projab .
                    Hints for # 45:    - Use the formula that allows one to determine if
                                                two vectors are perpendicular.
                                              - Do not use the component form of a vector, like a = <a1,a2>.
                                                Instead, use the formula for
projab that was given in class
                                                (or can be found in the book).   
                    Hint for # 46:      For the sketch, again, consult the figures mentioned in
                                              the Note for ## 40, 41. Also, for the sketch of orthab,
                                              recall the geometric definition of the difference of two vectors:
                                              see p. 1-3 of the posted notes for Secs. 12.1 and 12.2.
                                              You can check your answer geometrically, by verifying
                                              that  projab +
orthab = b,  and algebraically, by verifying that orthab _|_ a. 
                    Answer for # 46: 
ortha = <20, -5>/17.
                    Hint for # 48:  See the definitions before Example 6 in the book.
                                          Also, try to visualize the problem by making a sketch.


Extra credit # 1  (worth 0.2% added to your final grade)
Assigned:  09/01
Due: 09/08
Note: Before you attempt this extra-credit assignment, please read these instructions!
Sec. 12.3:  # 58.   Hint:               Use the dot product.
                           Clarification:    You should not assume any specific components for  and  b.
                                                 (In fact, I suggest that you not use the component form of vectors at all.)
                An additional 0.1% will be added to your score if you explain the fact that you have proved
                using elementary geometry.   Hints for this "additional extra credit": 
                                                          (i) What are the lengths of each term in the vector equation for  c?
                                                         (ii)  Draw the parallelogram representing  c  as the vector sum of
                                                               those two terms. This parallelogram is special (because of
                                                               your answer in (i)).
                                                         (iii)  What properties do the diagonals in this special parallologram have?


HW # 4 
Assigned:  09/02 
  (All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via WebAssign.)
T/F Quiz at the end of Chap. 12 (p. 842):  
                ## 4, 6, 7, 9, 13, 14, 20, 21  (see the Note for HW 3)
;
Sec. 12.4:  ##   13, 3, 16, 29, 19, 22, 38, 11, 37.
                    Answer for T/F # 4:   False.

                    Note for # 22:  Use properties of the cross and dot products, not a direct calculation.
                    Hint for # 29(b):  The area of a triangle equals half the area of the parallelogram made
                                               by two of the triangle's sides.
                    Hint for # 38:   Begin by computing vectors AB, AC, AD.
                   
Note 1 for # 11:   Do as the assignment says: Find the answers
                                            by using the properties
of cross product
                                             not
by a calculation via a determinant!
                   
Note 2 for # 11:   If you haven't done so already, make sure that you read the
                                              "Common syntactic errors and issues" document found right below
                                              the Homework link on the course webpage.



HW # 5-A 
Assigned:  09/08 
  (All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via WebAssign.)

P2 than to P1.
      If 
P1 = (1, 2, 3) and  P2 = (4, 5, 6), find the coordinates of Q.

                    Hint for # 11:   Recall that if you have an equation of a line, you are given
                                           the two "ingredients" of that line.

                    Hint for # 13:   See p. 3-1 of posted Notes about how to tell if two vectors
                                           are parallel or not.
                    Hint for WP:    What value of  t  corresponds to point Q?
                    Answer for WP:  Q = (13/4, 17/4, 21/4).
                    Hint for # 81:   See topic 5 (Segment connecting two points) in Lec. 4; especially
                                           where it handles t-values with  0 < t < 1.

    on to compute that distance (see topic 6b in the Notes for Sec. 12.5(Planes)).
    You must provide a clear explanation in order to receive credit.


HW # 6
Assigned:  09/11     
  (All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via WebAssign.)
T/F Quiz at the end of Chap. 12 (p. 842):  
                # 18 
(see the Note for HW 3);
Sec. 12.6:  ##   1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7,  41, 13 (see Notes below for both of these problems); 
Word Problem 1:    Describe and sketch the surfaces:   (a) x^2 - z^2 = 4;  
                                                                                (b) x^2 - z^2 = 3.

                             In what way do the constants "4" and "3" make these surfaces different?
Word Problem 2:    Describe and sketch the surfaces:  
(a) 2x^2 + y^2 = 1;  
                                                                                (b) y^2 +3 z^2 = 4.
                       See the General Note and Notes and Answers to specific problems, below.

     Now let us get back to problems at the end of Sec. 12.6.

     Very soon we will start extensively referring to a surface called "cone".
     You all know, of course, what a cone looks like, but this is a good time to get familiar
     with its equation. To that end, do the following.
# 41:   Solve the given equation for  z  (you should obtain two answers that differ by +/-)
          and plot it in Mathematica using command Plot3D. If you are not familiar with its
          syntax, go to Help in Mathematica's menu, select Wolfram Documentation, and type
          "Plot3D" without quotation signs in the search box. When you plot your function,
          make sure to use the plotting option
          RegionFunction -> Function[{x, y, z}, x^2 + y^2 <= 4]
          (it is explained in examples for Plot3D). The number "4" above can be changed to
          any other number depending on what rang of x,y-values you want to show in your plot.
          The coefficients in front of  x  and  y  should also mimic those of the surface in question.
          Notice which coordinate axis is the axis of this cone.
          Also notice and explain, based on the material of Sec. 12.6 and Mathematica Lab 1,
          which dimension, x or y, of the cone's base is greater and by what factor.
# 13:   Sketch this surface by hand, based on your experience with # 41. (Plot3D will not
          work in this case; we will learn how to sketch such surfaces in Mathematica, but only
         
at the end of this course.)
          To make a correct sketch, you'll first need to answer the two questions asked about # 41:
          (i) What is the axis of this cone? and
          (ii) Which dimension of the cone's base is larger and
by what factor?
                               
                    General Note for all problems related to ellipses and hyperbolas:
                       Review Part 1 of Lab 1 and Appendix C in your textbook (pp. A19--A22)
                       on how to tell the parameters (e.g., semi-axes) of these curves from their equations.
                  
                    Answer for T/F # 18:   False.
                    Answer for # 2:   To make a sketch in (b) and (c), use
the Plot3D command in Mathematica.
                                              Also, in (c) you have an "exponential cylinder", defined similarly
                                              to the parbolic cylinder described in the next Answer.
                    Answer for # 6:   Parabolic cylinder obtined by extending the parabola y=z^2
                                              in the yz-plane along the x-axis.
                    Note for # 7:       I am hoping that you will combine your knowledge of the curve  xy=1,
                                              which you learned in high school, with the material about surfaces that
                                              you learned in this section.
                    To verify your sketches for the Word Problems, solve the equations for  z
                         and then use the Plot3D command in Mathematica.

                     

HW # 7
Assigned:  09/15 
  (All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via WebAssign.)
T/F Quiz at the end of Chap. 13:  
                ## 1, 2, 3 (you may want to do it along with ## 7, 15, and 21, 25 listed below);
Sec. 13.1:  ##   1;   18;   8, 7, 15, 10, 12, 27, 21, 25, 31, 32, 42, 43, 44, 49;
Review Exercises at the end of Chap. 13 (p. 882): 
                #  1(a) (along with ## 7, 15, and 21, 25 above),    6(a) (along with ## 29, 30 above).
                    Answer for T/F # 2:   True.
                    Note for ## 8,7:          I expect you to recognize these as very familiar cartesian curves,
                                                     i.e. curves of the form  y = f(x)  or  x=f(y). 
                                                     Remember that, conversely, any cartesian curve 
y = f(x) 
                                                     can be written in parametric form as  x = t,  y = f(t). 
                                                     So, to go from parametric to cartesian, you need to reverse this step.
                    Note for ## 10, 12:     While you must sketch the curves by hand (following the examples
                                                     presented in class/posted notes, you should verify your answers
                                                     with Mathematica's command  ParametricPlot3D (see Lab 1).
                    Notes for ## 27, 21, 25:   1.  Recall the parametric equation of a certain curve from Sec. 12.6
                                                               which you were required to memorize.
                                                          2.  Use the knowledge of some of the surfaces which you sketched
                                                               in HW # 6 (Sec. 12.6).
                    Answer for # 6(a) on p. 882:   (15/8, 0, -ln(2)).


HW # 8
Assigned:   09/18 
  (All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via WebAssign.)
T/F Quiz at the end of Chap. 13:   4, 5;
Sec. 13.1:  # 5;
Sec. 13.2:  ##  3, 5, 13, 14, 17, 19, 23, 25, 26, 33, 36, 37, 41;
Review Exercises at the end of Chap. 13 (p. 882):  # 5.
                   
Hint for # 5 of Sec. 13.1:   Use a method from Sec. 2.6 for one components;
                                                            for the others, use the limiting values of the functions involved.
                    Note for ## 3,5 of Sec. 13.2:      I expect you to recognize these as very familiar cartesian curves,
                                                                    i.e. curves of the form  y = f(x)  or  x=f(y)
                   
Hint for # 5 of Sec. 13.2:   This cartesian curve has nothing to do with the expenential curve.
                    Note for ## 13, 14:   Review the Chain Rule.
                    Note for # 13:     The expression  e^t^n  should be interpreted as  e^(t^n).
                    Answer for # 26:   x=2+t/2,  y=ln4 + t/2, z=1+t.
                    Note for # 36:   Review formula 10 and Ex. 5 in Sec. 7.4
                                           (don't pay attention to details of Partial Fraction Expansion,
                                             but note how the integrals are done).
                   
Note for # 37:   Review Exs. 1 and 2 of Sec. 7.2.
                   
Note for # 5 on p. 882:   Review Ex. 4 in Sec. 5.5.

Note: Before you attempt this extra-credit assignment, please read these instructions!
Sec. 13.2:  # 28.


HW # 9
Assigned:   09/23 
  (All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via WebAssign.)
T/F Quiz at the end of Chap. 13:  
                ## 12, 8, 7, 10, 13;
 Review Exercises at the end of Chap. 13 (p. 882):   
                # 12.
Sec. 13.3:  ##   1, 2, 3, 11, 13, 15, 47, 48, 49, 53, 17, 19, 21, 33.
                    Note for ## 2, 11:   Use identity  a^2+2ab+b^2 = (a+b)^2  and then  Sqrt[(a+b)^2] = (a+b).
                                                 Also, for # 11, use x=t for parametrization of the curve.
                    Note for # 3:   Use the main hyperbolic identity about cosh^2 and sinh^2
                                          (see p. 260 of Sec. 3.11 or Lab 1),
                                          or, instead, identity  (x + 1/x)^2 = x^2 + 2 + 1/x^2.
                    Note for # 47:  Use Mathematica to calculate T' and its length! (See also the Hint for ## 2,11.)
                                          The expression for the length is fairly simple.
                    Note for # 48:  Use the Chain Rule to find r' and then a trig identity from
                                          the middle of p. A28 (Appendix D) to find its length.
                    Note for ## 17(a), 19(a):  
                                           You do  not  need to sketch these curves in 3D!
                                           Pretend that your curve is in 2D and sketch both T and N for it.
                                           Focus on how these vectors are oriented relative to the curve.
                    Note for # 19(a):  When finding the length of  r'(t), use the following observation:
                                                e^(2x) + 2 + e^(-2x) = (e^x + e^(-x))^2  for any x.
                                              If you use Mathematica to do calculations for 19(a), you will see
                                              that denominators in some of your terms look like the above expression.
                                              Unfortunately, I don't know of a robust way to make Mathematica
                                              recognize this, so you will need to replace that expression by a
                                              complete square by hand.
                    Note for ## 17(b), 19(b):   Contrary to the direction given by the textbook and WA,
                                                                use Theorem 10 instead of Formula 9.
                                                           Also, when computing the cross product between vectors
                                                           with only two components (with the third being zero,
                                                           as it is for vectors in a plane), you must use
the original
                                                           definition of the cross product as a 3x3 determinant,

                                                           rather than its 2x2 shorcut version that may be
                                                           presented in WebAssign solutions or elsewhere online.
                    Note for # 12 on p. 882:    Find a very similar example in the Notes.

                especially those skipped or glanced over in the video.


HW # 10
Assigned:   09/25 
  (All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via WebAssign.)
Sec. 13.4:  ##   1(a), 3, 6, 5, 7, 10, 36, "37", 39, 43, the 2 Word Problems below (yes, in this order),
                      
22, 16, 17(a);
Concept Check at the end of Chap. 13:   # 8(b)
.

Word Problems:  (a) Sketch the following parametric curves and then, for each curve, sketch
                               the unit tangent and unit normal vectors
at  t=0  and  t=1.
                          (b) Sketch the acceleration vector and its tangential and normal components
                               at  t=0  and  t=1  for each of these curves:
                    1.  r = < t,  t^2 - 2t >;
                    2.  r = < 3t-t^3,  3t^2 >. 
                    To emphasize:  In these problems you should focus on sketching rather than on
                                           a calculation of  a_T and a_N.

                    Note for ## 3,6:   See the Note for ## 7,8 for Sec. 13.1 (HW # 7).                                             
                   
Hint for # 6:        This cartesian curve has nothing to do with the exponential curve.
                    Note for # 5:       You should recognize this curve from an earlier section in this course.
                    Answer for # 6:   To sketch the path, use ParametricPlot in Mathematica;
                                              v(0) = <1,2>,   a(0) = <1,4>,   |v(0)| = Sqrt[5].
                                              Make sure that you still sketch the path and v and a in the same

                    Answers for # 36:   (a)  a_N=0,   (b)  a_T=0.
                    Note for # "37":       This isn't quite the # 37 from the textbook, but instead # 5 on WA,
                                                  which is the closest problem on WA to what I actually want to assign.
                    Note for ## "37", 39:  Use Mathematica to calculate the cross and dot products,
                                                    as well as to do any other calculations. 
                    Note for ## 43 and for 8(b) (Concept Check on p. 881):  
                                                 See Fig. 7 in Sec. 13.4 that shows the acceleration vector
                                                 as a vector sum of its projections on T and N.
                    Note for Word Problem 1:  Recognize this curve as a familiar cartesian curve;
                                                             see the Note for ## 3, 6 above.
                                                             If in doubt, plot it using the ParametricPlot command
                                                             in Mathematica (see Lab 1 or Mathematica's Help).
                   Note for Word Problem 2:  This is essentially the same curve as in # "37" ( = WA # 5).
                                                             However, unlike in # "37", here you should focus on sketching,
                                                             not on a calculation.

                    Answers for Word Problem 1:   a = <0,2>; 
                                                                 @t=0:  T = <1,-2>/sqrt(5);   N=<2,1>/sqrt(5)
                                                                            (you are not asked to compute N, but can verify
                                                                             from your sketch that this N works);
                                                                            a_T < 0,  a_N > 0;
 
                                                                 @t=1:  T = <1,0>;   N=<0,1>

                                                                            a_T = 0,  a_N = 2.

                    Answers for Word Problem 2:   a = < -6t, 6 >;

                                                                            (you are not asked to compute N, but can verify
                                                                             from your sketch that this N works);
                                                                            a_T = 0,  a_N = 6.
                                                                 @t=1:  T = <0,1>;   N=<-1,0>
                                                                            (you are not asked to compute N, but can verify
                                                                             from your sketch that this N works);
                                                                            a_T > 0,  a_N > 0 (and both = 6/sqrt(2)).

Sec. 13.4:  ##  35 (0.3%),   28 (0.2%),   29 (0.15%),   32 (0.35%),   33 (0.1% for each part),   45 (0.1%).
                                                       Common note: 
                Remember: I grade your clearly presented solutions, with detailed explanations,
                                   including sketches whenever appropriate.
                                   I will not give credit for solutions with scarce explanations,
                                   even if your answers are correct.
               
Note for ## 29, 33, 45:   These problems are worked out in a WA video tutor.
                                                    You may watch it and follow its guidelines. However,
                                                    credit will be given if you present absolutely all the derivations and
                                                    explanations, especially those skipped or glanced over in the video.

                Hints for # 35:   This problem is actually on the material of:
                                        Sec. 13.2 (specifically, on an Example which is mentioned above and
                                        which I asked you to review on your own when we covered that section) 
                                        and on Sec. 12.4.
                                        Sketch  c  and  r  (as some two vectors in the same plane), and
                                        decompose  r  as:   r = r_par + r_perp,
                                        where 
r_par  and  r_perp  are parallel and perpendicular to  c, respectively.
                                        Then from the equation for  r',  determine the evolution of 
r_par  and  r_perp.
                Note for # 29:   Assume  y0 = 0.
                Note for # 33:   The "constant speed" referred to in this problem is the own speed
                                        of the boat.  The total velocity = own velocity + current's velocity.
                Hins for # 45:   1)  When the engine is shut off, the ship leaves the trajectory
                                            along the tangent line. So, review Sec. 13.2.
                                       2)  The equations for the shut-off time that you'll obtain are too complicated
                                            to be solved by any systematic method. However, they can be solved
                                            by inspection. To that end, think for which rational (i.e., not transcendental)
                                            value of  t0,  ln(t0)  is also a rational number.

                       14.1.509.xp (this is # 10 on the WA list; unfortunately, it is not in the 8-th edition of e-book),
                       49, 55, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72.

                    General notes:   1) Review the surfaces studied in Sec. 12.6. 
                                             2) You may use Mathematica to do 3D plots.
                                                The syntax of Plot3D was introduced in Lab 3.
                    Answer for # 12(b):   The half-space below the plane z = 10 - x - y.
                    Notes for # 32:   1) Review a class example.
                                             2) When f(x,y) depends on the combination (x^2+y^2), the graph
                                                 has the circular symmetry (because the function depends on
                                                 k = x^2 + y^2, which is the equation of a circle).
                                                 When f(x,y) depends on the combination (xy), then the graph
                                                 does not have the circular symmetry. Instead, to visualize it,
                                                 set, e.g., x=k, and then the graph's trace in the plane x=k
                                                 should be some familiar curve  z = f(ky).
                    Note for # 33:     Make sure to answer the question about the shape. Comment on
                                              where it is steeper and where it is gentler. Review a class example
                                              about that.
                    Hints for # 34(b):  1) The wind speed is higher where the pressure changes more rapidly
                                                   over the terrain (not over time!). So, again, you are asked to find
                                                   where the graph  pressure(x,y)  is the steepest.
                                                2) Somehow, the answer does not agree with Chicago's nickname.
                    Note for # 36:     Review a class example.
                    Note for # 37:     Again, this is the question about the slope of the terrain (i.e., surface).
                    Note for # 45:     Review Labs 1 and 3 (and pp. A19--A22 in Appendix C of e-book, if needed).
                   
Note for # 55 just FYI:    The surface T(x,y) looks similar to that in Fig. 11.
                    Note for ## 68, 70:    See the Table of surfaces in Sec. 12.6.
                                                    (You created a particular example of one of these surfaces in Lab 3.)
                    Note for ## 71, 72:    Review pp. 37--39 (Sec. 1.3) in the textbook.

                1) As the problem says, there will be two intervals for c.
                    Makes plots for two values of c from each interval, showing how
                    the graphs change with c. Also, make a graph for the critical value of c.
                2)  Explain the existence of two intervals for c by completing the square.
                     Name the sirface obtained in each of these intervals. (For an explanation,
                     you must complete the square not only when
c = 2 or -2, but for an
                     arbitrary
c.  Then discuss a relation of your result with equations of
                     some two familiar surfaces.)

                                                     In ## 7, 8, where you have to find second derivatives, interpret
                                                     them as rate of change in direction "A" of a slope in direction "B",
                                                     where "A" and "B" can be  x  and  y  in any combination.
                    Note for ## 10, 73:    In 10 and 73(a,b), round the answer to 1 decimal place.
                                                    In 73(c), round to 2 decimal places.
                    Note for # 10:            You will need a ruler to estimate the "run"
                                                    in the "rise over run" formula for the slope.
                    Answer for # 18:        (3/2)/Sqrt[3x+4t],  
2/Sqrt[3x+4t]
                    Note for ## 8, 73, and # 11 on p. 982:
                                 Recall that  f_xy = (f_x)_y. The f_x here is the slope in the x-direction,
                                 and then (f_x)_y  is the rate of change of this slope along the y-direction.
                                 Thus, you need to find how the slope f_x changes when you change y.

                    Answer for # 4:      z = -1 -(1/4) (x+4) + 1*(y-2).
                    Note for ## 7, 20:    Use Mathematica's command Plot3D for plotting.
                    Answer for # 12:    f_x = Sqrt[y/x]/2,  f_y=Sqrt[x/y]/2  are continuous
                                                 at (1,4); hence  f  is differentiable at that point.
                                                 L = 2 + (x-1) + (1/4)(y-4) 
                    Note for # 20:        In deviation from the "'near' versus 'at'" rule which I stated in class,
                                                here `at' indicates the point (x0,y0).
                    Answer for # 20:    L = 2 + (x-1) + (y-1);  then use x=1.02, y=0.97.
                    Note for # 22:        Note that "delta t" between two adjacent columns changes from
                                                one pair of columns to another somewhere in the middle of the table.
                                                This will affect your estimate for the partial derivative with respect to t,
                                                 which WA wants you to find as the average
of the left and right quotients.

                                            Answer:  5*(dp/p) + 3*(dq/q).
                    Answer for # 30:    Denote EE = E^(-y^2-z^2). Then:
                                                 df = z*EE*dx - 2xyz*EE*dy + (x-2xz^2)*EE*dz.

                     Word Problem 1
                       Suppose that certain measured quantities, x and y, have errors of at most
                     r % and s %, respectively. Use differentials to approximate the
                     maximum percentage error in each of the following:
                     (a)  xy,   (b) x/y,  (c)  7 x^2 y^3,  (d) x/Sqrt[y].
                     Answers:  (a) (r+s) %,  (b) (r+s) %,  (c) (2r+3s) %,  (d) (r+(s/2)) %.
                     Word Problem 2
                        The period T of a pendulum undergoing small oscillations is  related
                     to its length   L  and  specific  gravity  g   by the formula:
                     T = 2*Pi *Sqrt[L/g].
                     (a)  Use differentials to approximate the percentage change in the period if
                     the length of a pendulum is decreased by 4%,  and the pendulum is raised
                     very high above the ground, which decreases  g  by  1%.
                     (b)
Use differentials to approximate the maximum percentage error in
                     calculating the period if the length and specific gravity are measured with
                     percentage errors of at most 4% and 1%, respectively.
                     Answers:   (a) -1.5%,  (b) 2.5%.
                     Word Problem 3
                        The length and width of a rectangle are measured with errors of at most
                     3% and 5%, respectively.

                     (b)  Is the information given sifficient to determine the maximum percentage
                     error in the perimeter of this rectangle? If 'yes', state the corresponding
                     maximum  percentage error.

                     Answers:   (a)  8%,  (b)  No.
                     Word Problem 4
                         Four positive numbers, each between 2 and 20, are rounded to the first
                     decimal place and then multiplied together. Use differentials to estimate the following:
                         a) The maximum possible absolute error in the computed product that may
                      result from the rounding;
                          b) The maximum possible percentage error of the same.
                      Hints for (a) and (b):  
                              1)  The maximum error introduced by rounding to one decimal place is 0.05.
                              2)  Use
straightforward generalizations of the formula for  f=x^m*y^n  derived in class.
                      Answers:  (a)  4*0.05*20^3,    (b)  4*(0.025) = 10%.

Review Exercises at the end of Chap. 14 (p. 984)
                ##   52, 53 (these numbers in the book are the closest match to ## 3, 4 on the WA list),
Sec. 14.7:  ##   21, 41, 43, 49, 52, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37;
Word Problem:    Find the absolute extrema of  f(x,y) = x*y - x
                          inside the closed disk  x^2 + y^2  <= 1.

                    Suggestion for all problems involving the Second Derivative Test:
                                    Use Mathematica to compute derivatives and simplify the expression,
                                    as in Lab 5.
                   
                    Hint for # 21:   To answer the last question ("Then show..."), complete the square.
                                           (If you forgot how to complete a square, google it.)
                    Note 1 for ## 33 - 37:    
                                        Do NOT mimic the treatments of the extrema on the boundaries
                                        as found in WA's solutions.
                                        For rectangular regions, this treatment is very sketchy and will not help you
                                        do similar problems on a Quiz or Test.
                                        For circular regions, WA incorrectly suggests that you use
                                        Cartesian coordinates (x,y) instead of the proper, parametric coordinates,
                                        as shown in a Class Example. Again, following WA's approach on a
                                        Quiz or Test will likely put you in trouble.
                                        Use the approach of the Class Example.

                    Note 2 for ## 33--37 and Word Problem:
                                       Study and USE
the Mathematica notebook posted next to the
                                       Lecture Notes for Sec. 14.7.
It is there for a very good reason...                        
                                       For the HW problems, you should also plot the surfaces,
                                       as shown in that notebook, and then verify whether your
                                       answer makes sense by comparing them with those plots.

                   
Hint for # 37 and Word Problem:  
                                           When finding critical points on the boundary, you will arrive
                                           at an equation that has a mixture of sin and cos.
                                           You need to exprerss one of them via the other
                                           (e.g.,  cos^2 = 1-sin^2), obtain a quadratic equation
                                           for the remaining function (which would be sin(t) in the above example),
                                           denote sin(t)=u (or cos(t)=u), and solve the quadratic equation for  u.
                    Answer for Word Problem:   Abs. min. at (Sqrt[3]/2, 1/2):   f = -3Sqrt[3]/4; 
                                                               Abs. max at
( -Sqrt[3]/2, 1/2): f = 3Sqrt[3]/4.

                       TF7, 39, 66, 27, 28, 29, TF4, 69.
Word Problem:
Express the given integral as an equivalent integral with the order of integration reversed:
Integrate[ Integrate[f[x,y], {y, 3x, Sqrt[x]}], {x,0, 1/2} ].
(If you are unsure what the above syntax means, see "Help" for command "Integrate" in Mathematica.)

                       General Note 1:   You can always check your answer with Mathematica.
                                                Example:   Integrate[x y, {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, x}].
                       General Note 2:  This concerns sketching curves  y = x^2  and  y = Sqrt[x].
                                                The parabola  y = x^2  has the zero slope at x=0.
                                                This implies that in the first quadrant between x=0 and their intersection point,
                                                this parabola passes below any straight line y=kx, k>0,
                                                no matter how small k is (as long as k>0).
                                                Similarly, the sideways
parabola  y = Sqrt[x]  has the infinite slope at x=0.
                                               
This implies that in the first quadrant between x=0 and their intersection point,
                                                this parabola passes above
any straight line y=kx, k>0,
                                                no matter how large k is.

                       Note:    TF2  refers to the True/False question 2 at the end of Chap. 15 (p. 1061), etc.
                       Answer for  # 46:  Limits over x are 0 to Sqrt[y];  limits over y are from 0 to 4.
                      
Answer for  # 48:  Limits over y are -Sqrt[4-x^2] to Sqrt[4-x^2]; limits over x are from 0 to 2.
                       Answer for # 16:   (E^16 - 17)/2.
                       Answer for # 14:   3^5/8;  Type I limits are:  0<= x<=3,  x^2 <= y<= 3x;
                                                   Type II limits are:  y/3 <=x<=Sqrt[y],  0 <=y<= 9.
                       Hint for # 39:   Sketching planes with equation  z = a*x+b*y+c   was considered
                                              in Ex. 1(a) (Notes) and Ex. 5 (book) for Sec. 14.1;
                                              a related example is Ex. 5 (book) for Sec. 12.5.
                       Hint for # 66:   Recognize the integral as the volume of a familiar object.
                       Answer for # 66:   (2*Pi/3)*R^3.
                       Hint for ## 69:   The integrand has three terms. To evaluate each of the resulting
                                                integrals WITHOUT actually computing them, use symmetry
                                                on the first two terms and geometry (as I showed in class) on the third term.

                      Hint for #  6:       Review Ex. 3 in Sec. 7.2.
                      Answer for # 6:   Pi/2. (The region is the left half of the circle  x^2 + (y-1)^2 = 1.)
                      Note for # 17:     To determine the limits of integration over theta, you need to find those
                                                values of theta where the two circles intersect. To do so, you need to
                                                solve  f1(theta) = f2(theta),  where r = f1(theta)  and r = f2(theta) 
                                                are the polar equations of the two circles.
                      Hint for # 40(a):   See # 11 above.
                      Note for # 40(c,d):  This integral is called the Poisson integral and arises in many areas
                                                    of mathematics, not just in probability and statistics.

                      Hint for # 12:   When you come to the integration over  x, you need to do
                                             integration by parts. A small simplification will occur if you
                                             also use a trig identity   cos(Pi-x)=-cos(x).
                      Answer for # 12:   (Pi^2)/2 - 2.
                      Hint for # 16:    To obtain the equation of the plane making one of the faces of the
                                               tetrahedron, use the method of Ex. 5 of Sec. 12.5 in the textbook.
                      Answer for #  28:   It's a solid bounded
at bottom and top by z=0 and z=2-y and
                                                  on the sides by planes x=0, y=0, and cylinder x=4-y^2.
                                                  Its projections on the coordinate planes are:
                                                  {xy-plane:  0 < x < 4-y^2,  0<y<2},
                                                  {xz-plane:  0<x<4,  0<z<2},
                                                  {yz-plane:  0<z<2-y, 0<y<2}.
                     
Answer for #  30:   First integration over z:   0 < z < sqrt(9-y^2),
                                                   -2 < x < 2,  -3 < y < 3;   or  
-3 < y < 3,  -2 < x < 2;
                                                  
First integration over x:   -2 < x < 2,
                                                  
0<z<sqrt(9-y^2),  -3<y<3;   or   -sqrt(9-z^2)<y<sqrt(9-z^2),  0<z<3;
                                                   First integration over y:   -sqrt(9-z^2)<y<sqrt(9-z^2),
                                                  
-2 < x < 2,  0 < z < 3,   or   0 < z < 3,   -2 < x < 2.

Sec. 15.7:  ##  1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 29.
                      Note for ## 19, 20, as well as in general:
                                           The point of this section's assignment is to teach you to set up
                                           integrals in cylindrical coordinates, not to evaluate integrals.
                                           Therefore, you  SHOULD  use Mathematica to evaluate
                                           integrals that look complicated.
                                           For example, for # 20, I recommend that you integrate
                                           first over  z and  Theta, and only then over   r, with the latter integration
                                           being done by Mathematica. When integrating over Theta, note
                                           the identity:  Integrate[Sin[t],{t,0,2Pi}]=0;
                                           the same result holds if Sin is replaced with Cos or Sin[t]*Cos[t]
                                           (note, however, that this won't be true if the limits are different).
                                           To further simplify your work on integration, you may
                                           look up the syntax for double integrals under Help for "Integrate".
                                           I recommend that you follow the general guidelines of this Note
                                           for all subsequent assignments,
unless otherwise noted.
                      Answer for # 16:   This solid is inside the cylinder r=2, above the xy-plane,
                                                  and below the cone z=r. Its volume is  (16/3)*Pi.
                      Hints for # 24:  1. When determining the boundary of region R in the xy-plane,
                                                 follow the steps of Ex. 1 in the Notes for sec. 15.3.
                                             2. In this way,
you'll arrive at an equation for  r  that looks like this:
                                                          a*r^4 + b*r^2 + c = 0,
                                                 where  a, b, c are some constants. To solve it, denote  r^2=u
                                                 and solve the quadratic equation for  u.
                      Note for # 29:  This problem's version on WA is more complicated than the book's version.
                                             See the Note for this on WA.
                                             When working on this problem in preparation for a test, use the book's version
                                             rather than WA's version.

                      Hint for # 3(b):

                      Answer for # 4:    (a) (2, theta=0, phi=Pi/6);   (b) (4, theta=11Pi/6, phi=Pi/6).
                      Answer for # 12:   The part of the space between the spheres centered at the origin and
                                                  with radii 1 and 2,  below the z=0 plane.

                      Hint for # 15:       Look at Ex. 4 in Sec. 15.8;
                                                 a similar problem, albeit in a different coordinate system,
                                                 was done in Ex. 1 in the Notes for Sec. 15.3.
                      Note for # 17:      This is the closest match to WA's # 6.
                                                 When preparing for a test, you need to use the WA's problem,
                                                 not # 17 from the textbook.

    # 55.
                      General Note about computing integrals:
                      In this and the next section, the primary focus is not on computing double or
                      triple integrals, but on setting up integration regions.
                      Therefore, you may reduce the amount of work for yourself
                       if you use Mathematica to do the integrations.
                       Look up the syntax for multiple (e.g., double) integration in the Help menu
                       for the command Integrate. (This has already been noted in Sec. 15.8's assignment.)
                      Note for ## 11, 15, 16, 23, 24, 13, 14, 55:     These are problems similar to Ex. 2 in the Notes.
                      Hint for # 13:   Here (u,v) are polar coordinates.
                      Hint for # 14:   For hyperbolas, think what combination of x and y is a
                                             constant along each of the hyperbolas. This will be your u.
                                            
Similarly, for the straight lines, think what combination of x and y is a
                                             constant along each of the straight lines. This will be your v.

                      Answer for # 14:   u=xy, v=y/x;  1 <= u <=4,  1 <= v <= 4;  
                                                 Inverse transformation is:   x=Sqrt[u/v],  y=Sqrt[uv]
                                                 (the positive signs are chosen because  x,y > 0).

                      Note for ##  23, 24:    
                                        Use the method described in the notes,
                                        NOT the method presented in Examples 2 and 4--7 of the book.
                                        Namely, you need to identify what curve, lying in which plane,
                                        needs to be rotated about which axis to produce the specified surface.
                      Note for # 23:   See Ex. 2 in the Notes for Sec. 15.8 and Ex. 2 in the Notes for 16.6.

                      Answer for # 23:   x = 2*sin(u)*cos(v),   y = 2*sin(u)*sin(v),  z = 2*sin(u);
                                                  0 <= u <= Pi/4,   0 <= v <= 2*Pi.
                      Answer for # 24:   
x = 3*cos(u),   y = v,  z = 3*sin(u);
                                                  0 <= u <= Pi,   -4 <= v <= 4.

                      Note for # 58(b):    Do not set up the integral for the surface in (x,y)-coordinates;
                                                   only eliminate the parameters to show that the surface is a paraboloid.
                      Answer for # 58(b):      z = (x/a)^2 + (y/b)^2
                      Answer for # 60(a):      (x/a)^2 + (y/b)^2 - (z/c)^2 = 1

                      15 -- 18 (these problems in the book are the closest match to WA's ## 7,8
                                    and are listed here only as a reference; you should do WA's problems 7,8),
                      27, 33, 34.

                     Note for # 6:           Have you read the "Must-Read" Example in the textbook?
                     Note for # 27:         The Mathematica command to plot a vector field is VectorPlot.
                                                   You learned the command for contour plots in Lab 4.
                                                   You learned the command to plot two figures together in Lab 1
                                                   and then used it in all Labs except Lab 2.
                                                   The emphasis of this problem is on visualizing the relation
between
                                                   the gradient and level curves, which you learned in Sec. 14.6.
                     Hint for ## 33, 34:   Recall from Sec. 13.4 that velocity is the derivative of the
                                                   location of a particle:  dr/dt = v. If  dt  is small but still finite,
                                                   one can write it as  r(t+dt) - r(t) = v dt. Then 
r(t+dt)  can be found
                                                   when the other ingredients of the formula have been given.



HW # 28

  (All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via WebAssign.)
p. 1148 of the book, T/F Quiz:   1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 12.
Sec. 16.5:  ##   1, 3, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20, 21, 22, 31(a-c).
                     Note for all problems where tedious calculation of partial derivatives is required
                                                To compute partial derivatives of complicated functions,
                                                use Mathematica's command D (which you used in Labs 4 and 5).
                                                Moreover, you may compute Div and Curl using these commands
                                                in Mathematica.
                                                Note, however, that this should be used only to check your answers,
                                                not to obtain them. Mathematica will not help you do similar
                                                calculations on a quiz or test.
                     Note about # 5:    This is a placeholder for WA's # 10. They require similar calculations,
                                                but the WA's problem has a physical meaning (see the Note for # 31)
                                                while the # 5 from the 8th edition does not.
                                                So, just do WA's # 10 and don't worry abou this placeholder
                                                from the textbook.
                     Note about # 31:   These identities are very important in the theory of Electromagnetism
                                                and in Fluid dynamics.

Sec. 16.5:  ##    26 (0.15%),  29 (0.1%).
                     
Note for # 29:    No credit will be given for a solution similar to the one
                                               given by WA online tutor.
                                               Instead, to receive credit, you must solve this problem
                                               by interpreting  curl F as (nabla x F), where 
denotes the
                                               cross-product, and then using properties of the cross-product.
                                               In particular, you should figure out how to use the formula
                                               for  a
x b x c  in this case.

p. 1148 of book, T/F Quiz:   6.
                       General Note:   Read the Observation on p. 30-5 of the Notes for
                       Sec. 16.2 about a shortcut of doing some of the integrals.
                       This Observation applies to the integrals (or parts thereof)
                       in ## 7, 21, 41.

                       Note for ## 10, 41:    You need to use the parametric equations of
                                                       the segment connecting two given points.
                                                       See notes and/or book for Sec. 12.5.
                       Note for ## 34, 36:   Do only the part about finding the mass (i.e.,
                                                      you do not need to find the center of mass).

Note for # 25:    What do we know about the curl of a conservative field?
                                               Also, review ## 9(b), 10(b), 11(b) in Sec. 16.5.
                       Answer for # 22:   The work depends on the path, hence F is not conservative.
                       Note for # 14:       You'll need to use integration by parts:
                                                   u = x,  dv = y*exp[xy]*dx, etc.
                       Answer for # 14:   (a)  f = x*exp[xy] + K0,   (b) f(0,2) - f(1,0) = -1.

Review Exercises at the end of Chap. 16 (p. 1150 of the book):   # 38.
                        Notes for # 27:   (i) Use Mathematica to evaluate partial derivatives.
                                                 (ii) At a final stage of the calculation, you will need to do a
                                                      trigonometric integral. See Example 1 in Sec. 7.2.
                        Note for # 38:   See # 35 for Sec. 16.3 and Example 5 in the book for Sec. 16.4.
                                               Also, as a technical convenience, use the result of # 21 on p. 1149.

Sec. 16.4:  ##    21 + verify 21(c) by direct calculation from the sketch (0.15%),  22 (0.2%),  31 (0.15%).
          
Note for ## 21 and 31:   These problems are worked out in WebAssign. You are welcome to
                                              watch their video. However, your solution will receive credit
                                              only if all steps of the derivation, including those that could have
                                              been skipped in the video, are present. That is, if you skip any explanation
                                              that I deem essential, I will not give any credit to your solution.
                                              So, if you are unsure whether you need to include a particular detail
                                              in your solution - just include it (or ask me).



HW #  32
Assigned:  12/ 
  (All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via WebAssign.)
Sec. 16.7:  ##    10, 6, 14, 13, 24, 27, 25, 40, 43.
  General Note 1:     The focus of this HW is on setting up the double integrals,
                       not on computing them. Therefore, once you have set up a double integral,
                       evaluate it using Mathematica. This will save you time and frustration of
                       dealing with minor arithmetic errors.
 
General Note 2:     Review parametrization of a cylinder, sphere, and cone
                       from Notes for Sec. 16.6. The parametric equation of a paraboloid, which
                       you will also need in a one problem, is very similar to that of the cone.
                       For example, for z=x^2+y^2, the parametric equations are: 
                       x = u*cos(v), y = u*sin(v), z = u^2.
                   
Note for all problems involving a cone, a cylinder, or a sphere
                                                      Do NOT use the Cartesian form of the surface!
                                                      Instead, use its parametric representation in suitable
                                                      cylindrical (or spherical -- for a sphere) coordinates.
                                                      It is this parametric form that you will need to use
                                                      in a corresponding problem on the Final Exam.

                       Answer for # 10:   3*Integrate[4x-2x^2-2x*y, {y,0,2-x},{x,0,2}]
                       Answer for # 6:     Integrate[u^3*Sin[v]*Cos[v]*Sqrt[2]*u,{v,0,Pi/2},{u,0,1}]
                       Note for # 14:       For a trig integral that you will need to compute, see
                                                  Ex. 3 in Sec. 7.2.
                       Note for # 13:           Decide which pair out of (x,y,z) is convenient to replace by
                                                       a pair (u,v).  See, e.g., Ex. 3(a) in Notes for Sec. 16.6.
                       Note for # 25:       Use the parametrization of a sphere.
                       Note for ## 43:     Parametrize the cylinder similarly to Ex. 3 in the textbook (Sec. 16.7)
                                                      or Ex. 1 in the Notes for Sec. 16.6. However, make sure to pick
                                                      the correct variable (x, y, or z) as the cylinder's axis.

                       Answer for # 24:    - Integrate[(r+r^3)*r,{r,1,3},{theta,0,2*Pi}]

Sec. 16.9:  ##    5, 7, 11, 12, 13, 19.

                      
General Note 1:     Use appropriate coordinate systems when setting up the
                       triple integrals
.
                       General Note 2:     The focus of this HW is on setting up triple integrals,
                       not on computing them. Therefore,
once you have set up a triple integral,
                       evaluate it using Mathematica. You may use Mathematica to find
                       partial derivatives, too.
                      
Hint for # 19:         Think whether the field flows mostly in or out of the given point.
                                                    Relate this with the meaning of the Divergence theorem.
