Question 1
(a) Find the points on the curve xy 2 = 54 nearest to the origin.
(b) Find the extreme values of f (x, y, z) = xy + z 2 on the circle in which the plane

Question 2
xy 3
ZZ
(a) Evaluate dA over the region R : 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, 0 ≤ y ≤ 2.
R x2 + 1
(b) Find the volume of the solid whose base is the region in the xy-plane bounded
by the parabola y = 4 − x2 and the line y = 3x, while the top of the solid is
bounded by the plane z = x + 4.
