Tutorial Sheet - 5

1. Using Taylor’s formula, find quadratic and cubic approximations of ex sin y at origin.
Estimate the error in approximations if |x| ≤ 0.1 , |y| ≤ 0.2.

2. Find all the critical points of f (x, y) = sin x sin y in the domain −2 ≤ x ≤ 2 , −2 ≤ y ≤ 2.

3. Find local minima and local maxima points of the function


2 +y 2 )
f (x, y) = xye−(x .

4. Let f (x, y) = (y − 4x2 )(y − x2 ). Verify that (0, 0) is a saddle point of f .

5. Let f (x, y) = (x − y)2 . Find all critical points of f and categorize them according as they
are either saddle points or the location of local extreme values. Is the second derivative
test useful in this case?

6. In each of the following cases below, discriminant is zero. Find the critical points and
their nature by imagining the surface z = f (x, y)

(a) f (x, y) = x2 y 2 (b) f (x, y) = 1 − x2 y 2 (c) f (x, y) = xy 2 .

7. Find the maximum and minimum values of f (x, y) = 3x + 4y subject to the constraint
x2 + 4xy + 5y 2 = 10.

8. Find the points on the ellipse + = 1 which are nearest and farthest from the straight
4 9
line 3x + y − 9 = 0.

9. Find the maximum volume of a rectangular solid in the first octant (x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, z ≥ 0)

with one vertex at the origin and the other vertex on the plane x + y + = 1.

10. Show that the closed cylinder (with lids) with the greatest
r surface area that can be
2
inscribed in a sphere of radius a has the altitude h = a 2 − √ and the radius of the
r 5
a 2
base r = 2+ √ .

11. A farmer wishes to build a rectangular storage bin, without a top, with a volume of 500
cubic meters. Find the dimensions of the bin that will minimize the amount of material
needed in its construction.

12. A company produces steel boxes at three different plants in amounts x, y and z, respec-
tively, producing an annual revenue of

f (x, y, z) = 8xyz 2 − 200(x + y + z).

The company is to produce 100 units annually. How should the production be distributed
to maximize revenue?
