IMPORTANT 7-MARK REPEATED QUESTIONS – SOLVED (EXAM STYLE)
Designed for easy revision & farra preparation.
Q1. Find extreme values of f(x,y)=x³+y³−3axy
∂f/∂x = 3x² − 3ay = 0, ∂f/∂y = 3y² − 3ax = 0
Critical points obtained: (0,0) and (a,a)
Second derivative test gives (a,a) as minimum if a>0 and maximum if a<0.
Extreme value = −a³ at (a,a).
Q2. Rectangular box open at top, volume 32, least material.
Let dimensions be x, y, z. Volume constraint: xyz = 32.
Surface area S = xy + 2xz + 2yz
Using Lagrange multiplier, solving gives x=y=4, z=2.
Hence dimensions are 4 × 4 × 2 units.
Q3. Change order of integration
Given ∫■¹ ∫■²²■■ xy dy dx
Region is bounded by y=x² and y=2−x.
After changing order and integrating, final answer = 3/8.
Q4. Area between y²=4ax and x²=4ay
Curves intersect at (0,0) and (4a,4a).
Area = ∫■■■ (2√ax − x²/4a) dx
Final area = (16/3)a².
Q5. Verify Divergence Theorem
∇·F = 3x² + 3y² + 3z²
Volume integral over cube [0,1] gives 3.
Surface integral also evaluates to 3.
Hence Divergence Theorem verified.
Q6. Directional derivative and maximum rate
Given φ = x²y²z + 4xz²
∇φ = (2xy²z + 4z²)i + (2x²yz)j + (x²y² + 8xz)k
At (1,−2,1), ∇φ = (12, −4, 12)
Directional derivative = ∇φ · unit vector = 4√6
Maximum rate of increase = |∇φ| = 4√10
Q7 (Unit–II). If u = sin■¹x + sin■¹y, find relation
Differentiate partially and eliminate u.
Final relation: x√(1−y²) + y√(1−x²) = constant.
