∂z ∂z
and ,
∂t ∂p

z = x2 cos y, x = 2t − p, y = t + p.

2. Calculate the Jacobian


∂(u, v, w)
∂(x, y, z)
if
u = 2x + y − z, v = x + 3y + 2z, w = 3x − y + 4z.

3. Expand
f (x, y) = ex+y
in powers of (x − 1) and (y − 1) up to the terms of third degree.

4. Find the stationary points and determine the maxima and minima of

f (x, y) = x3 + y 3 − 6x − 12y.

5. Find the minimum value of


x2 + 4y 2 ,
subject to
x + 2y = 6.

Moderate
6. If
u = ax + by, v = bx − ay,
show that
a2
   
∂u ∂x
= 2 ,
∂x y ∂u v a + b2
and
a2
   
∂y ∂v
= .
∂v x ∂y u a2 + b 2
7. If
u = x + y + z, v = x2 + y 2 + z 2 , w = x3 + y 3 + z 3 ,
show that u, v, w are functionally dependent and obtain the relation.

8. Expand
f (x, y) = ln(x + y)
about the point (1, 1) up to the terms of third degree.

9. Examine the function


f (x, y) = x3 + y 3 − 9xy
for its extreme values.

10. Find the minimum value of


a2 x 2 + b 2 y 2 + c 2 z 2
subject to

∂u ∂x 1
=

12. If
u + v + w = x + y + z,
u2 + v 2 + w2 = x2 + y 2 + z 2 ,
u3 + v 3 + w3 = x3 + y 3 + z 3 ,

14. Find the stationary points and classify them for

f (x, y) = x4 + y 4 − 4xy.

15. A rectangular box with a square base and no top has a total surface area of

192 cm2 .

Determine the dimensions of the box of maximum volume.
