    Solution 5
    1. Find the limit, if it exists, or show that the limit does not exist.

    a) b)
    xy 3 xyey
    lim lim p
    (x,y)→(0,0) x2 + y 6 (x,y)→(0,0) x2 + y 2

    Solution. If (x, y) approaches to (0, 0) along the curve Solution. Using the inequality
    x = y 3 , the value of the function is
    x2 + y 2 ≥ 2|xy|,
    y3 y3 1
    = . we get
    y + y6
    6 2

    xyey xyey 1 p
    However, if we send (x, y) to (0, 0) along the curve 0 ≤ p

    ≤ p

    =√ |xy|ey .
    3 x2 + y 2 2
    x = 2y , the value of the function is 2|xy|

    2y 3 y 3 2
    p
    = . We know that √12 |xy|ey is continuous on the whole
    4y 6 + y 6 5 plane. Hence, taking lim on the inequality above,
    (x,y)→(0,0)

    Hence, the value of f (x, y) = x2xy


    3
    we get
    +y 6 depends on the way
    which (x, y) approaches to (0, 0) by. Therefore, it has no

    xyey 1 p
    limit. 0≤ lim ≤ lim √ |xy|ey

    p
    (x,y)→(0,0) x2 + y 2 (x,y)→(0,0) 2
    1 p
    =√ |0 · 0|e0 = 0
    2
    This shows that
    xyey
    lim p = 0.
    (x,y)→(0,0) x2 + y 2

    Answer. No limit. Answer. 0

    2. Find the first partial derivatives of the function.

    a) b)
    f (a, b) = a1/3 ln b sin2 x + sin2 z
    ϕ(x, y, z, t) =
    cos y + cos t
    Answer.
    Answer.
    ∂f 1
    = a−2/3 ln b ∂ϕ 2 sin x cos x
    ∂a 3 =
    ∂f a1/3 ∂x cos y + cos t
    = ∂ϕ sin2 x + sin2 z
    ∂b b = sin y ·
    ∂y (cos y + cos t)2
    ∂ϕ 2 sin z cos z
    =
    ∂z cos y + cos t
    ∂ϕ sin2 x + sin2 z
    = sin t ·
    ∂t (cos y + cos t)2

    3. Find an equation of the tangent plane to the given surface at the specified point.

    a) b)
    z = 3 cos x − 2 sin y + 5, (π, π2 , 0) z = −2 ln x + (y + 1)2 − 1, (e, −3, 1)
    Solution. First of all, we set Solution. In this case,
    f (x, y, z) = 3 cos x − 2 sin y − z,
    f (x, y, z) = −2 ln x + (y + 1)2 − 1 − z.
    then the equation becomes f (x, y, z) = 0. Note that the
    gradient vector of f at (π, π2 , 0) is perpendicular to the Hence,
    tangent plane at (π, π2 , 0). We have first partial deriva-
    tives fx = − x2 , fy = 2(y + 1), fz = −1.

    fx = −3 sin x, fy = −2 cos y, fz = −1. Thus, the normal vector is

    Hence, the normal vector is (fx ((e, −3, 1)), fy ((e, −3, 1)), fz ((e, −3, 1)))
    2
    (fx ((π, π2 , 0)), fy ((π, π2 , 0)), fz ((π, π2 , 0)) =(− , −4, −1)
    e
    =(0, 0, −1)
    The tangent plane has its equation as
    Therefore, the equation for the tangent plane at (π, π2 , 0)
    is 2
    π (− , −4, −1) · (x − e, y + 3, z − 1) = 0.
    (0, 0, −1) · (x − π, y − , z − 0) = 0. e
