1 Exam 2 Summary Disclaimer: The exam 2 covers lectures 9-15, inclusive. This is mostly about limits, continuity and differentiation of functions of 2 and 3 variables, and some applications. The complete ideas, definitions and theorems are included in the lecture notes and textbook. This is my attempt to help you study, and might not include everything that you need to know. Lecture 9: Functions of Several Variables 1. The domain of a function is the set of all possible inputes of the function and the range is the set of all outputs. 2. The domain of a function of 2 variables is a subset of R 2 and the domain of a function of 3 variables is a subset of R 3. In either case, the range is a subset of R. 3. The domain restrictions you learnt in Calculus I/ precalculus still apply. These include, but not limited to Domain restriction You must solve for 0 something 0 ln( ) > 0 (2k 1)π tan( ) 2 sin 1 ( ), cos 1 ( ) 1 1 Polynomials, exponential function and inverse tangent have no domain restrictions. 4. To find the range of a given function, freeze all but one variable (at meaningful values) to make your function a function of a single variable and investigate the range. Repeat this with different values/ other variables if necessary. Also keep in mind that the domain restrictions might affect the range. The following table of range of some standard functions from calculus I can be helpful. Function Range { x n (, ) if n is odd [0, ) if n is even e x (0, ) ln(x), tan(x) (, ) sin(x), cos(x) [ 1, 1] tan 1 (x) ( π/2, π/2) sin 1 (x) [ π/2, π/2] cos 1 (x) [0, π] 1

2 5. The level curves of a function f(x, y) of 2 variables are the curves you get by setting f(x, y) =Constant. The shape of the curve depends on the constant you choose. The question Characterize all level curves asks you to find all possible different shaped level curves obtained by using different constants. 6. The level surfaces of a function f(x, y, z) of 3 variables are the surfaces you get by setting f(x, y, z) =Constant. The shape of the curve depends on the constant you choose. The question Characterize all level surfaces asks you to find all possible different shaped level surfaces obtained by using different constants. In lecture 5 you studied some commonly occurring surfaces. Some of these equations are given below. Equation Surface ( x ) 2 ( y ) 2 + = z 2 Elliptic cone (Cone when a = b = 1) a b ( x ) 2 ( y ) 2 ( z ) 2 + = + 1 Hyperboloid (1 sheet) ( a b c x ) 2 ( y ) 2 ( z ) 2 + = 1 Hyperboloid (2 sheets) a b c z = x 2 + y 2 paraboloid z = x 2 y 2 Paraboloid hyperbolic ( x ) 2 ( y ) 2 ( z ) = 1 Ellipsoid a b c Lecture 10: Limits of Multivariable functions 1. We say the limit of the function f(x, y) as (x, y) goes to (a, b) is L if the distance between f(x, y) and L can be made arbitrarily small by making the distance between (x, y) and (a, b) sufficiently close. 2. The above definition implies that the limit of the function at (a, b) does not depend on the path you take to reach the point (a, b). Which also implies that if the calculation of limit along two different paths gives two different values, then the limit at that point does not exist. 3. A function f(x, y) is said to be continuous at a point (a, b) if lim f(x, y) = f(a, b). (x,y) (a,b) This implies (a) f is defined at the point (a, b) (b) the limit lim f(x, y) exists. (x,y) (a,b) (c) They have the same numerical value. If any one of the above conditions fail, then the function is not continuous at the point (a, b). 4. If the function is continuous, you can plug in the value and find the limit. 2

3 5. If you are given a limit question (a) First plug in and see whether you get a finite value. If it does, then this is the limit value. If you get an infinite form (like 1/0) then the limit is infinite, and may not exist. (b) If you get an indeterminate when you plug in, see whether you can employ a calc I trick like Factor and cancel Multiply by the conjugate Clear the denominator using LCD to find the limit. (c) If none of the above works, see whether you can get 2 paths that goes to the given point, and gives you 2 different values when you calculate the limit. In this case, the limit does not exist. The ideas here can be extended naturally to a function of 3 variables by making the obvious but significant changes. Partial Derivatives of Multivariable func- Lecture 11: tions 1. The partial derivative of a function of two variables f(x, y) with respect to x at the point (a, b) is defined by the limit f(x, b) f(a, b) lim x a x a := f x (a, b) and the partial derivative of f(x, y) with respect to y at (a, b) is the limit f(a, y) f(a, b) lim y b y b := f y (a, b) Partial derivatives can be denoted in several types of notations. eg: f x (a, b) = f x = D x f(a, b) (a,b) 2. The partial derivative can be computed by thinking of all but the variable in question to be constants. 3. The partial derivative f x (a, b) gives the rate of change of the function in the direction of x, and f y (a, b) gives the rate of change of f in the direction of y. 4. Higher order partial derivatives can be obtained by successively differentiating the function partially with respect to the given order. eg: f xyx 2(a, b) means you need to partially differentiate f with respect to x, then with respect to y, and then twice with respect to x. 3

4 5. Clairaut s Theorem for mixed partial derivatives: Assume f is defined on an open set D in R 2 and both f xy and f yx are continuous through D. Then f xy = f yx for all (x, y) in D. Lecture 12: Tangent Planes, Linear Approximations and Differentials. 1. The Linearization of f(a, y) at the point (a, b) is the linear function L(x, y) = f(a, b) + f x (a, b)(x a) + f y (a, b)(y b) This function can be used to approximate the values of f for points near (a, b). 2. Let f(x, y) 2 variable function f defined in a disk containing (a, b) is and let f x (a, b) and f y (a, b) exist. We say f is differentiable at (a, b) if it can be expressed in the form f(x, y) = L(x, y) + e(x, y) Where e(x, y) satisfies lim (x,y) (a,b) e(x, y) (x a)2 + (y b) 2 = 0 Note that the existence of partial derivatives at the point (a, b) is not sufficient to determine whether f is differentiable at (a, b) 3. In this case, the tangent plane to f at the point (a, b) exists and its formula is given by z = f(a, b) + f x (a, b)(x a) + f y (a, b)(y b) This is the formula for equation of a tangent line of an explicitly defined function. 4. Criterion for differentiability: Assume f has partial derivatives defined in an open set D containing (a, b) with both f x and f y continuous at (a, b). Then f is differentiable at the point (a, b). 5. If f is differentiable at the point (a, b), then f is continuous at the point (a, b). The converse is false. 6. Formulas for differentials for a differentiable function at a point (a, b). The difference in independent variables x and y are denoted by dx and dy respectively and dx = x a and dy = y b. z is the difference of the functions value between those two points, so z = f(x, y) f(a, b). The differential dz = L(x, y) f(a, b), where L(x, y) is the linearization function of f at (a, b). It also gives the equality dz = f x (a, b)(x a) + f y (a, b)(y b). At points (x, y) near (a, b), z dz so z f x (a, b)(x a) + f y (a, b)(y b). 4

5 Lecture 13: Vector Directional Derivative and the Gradient 1. The gradient vector of a function f(x, y) of 2 variables is given by f(x, y) = f x (x, y), f y (x, y) For a function g(x, y, z) of 3 variables, this becomes g(x, y, z) = g x (x, y, z), g y (x, y, z), g z (x, y, z) 2. Let f be a differentiable function at (a, b) and let û be a unit vector in the xy-plane. The directional derivative of f at the point (a, b) in the direction of û is given by the formula 3. Properties of f. Dûf(a, b) = f(a, b) û (a) f is a vector field. That is, every point on f(a, b), which is a surface gets its own vector f(a, b). (b) f points in the direction of the maximum increase of f (or the steepest ascent). f points to the direction of the maximum increase of f (or the steepest descent) (c) Any vector orthogonal to f points to a direction where f does not change. (d) f is orthogonal to the level curves f has the same properties in 3 variables, and the last property should be changed to: f is normal to the level surfaces of f. Lecture 14: The Chain Rule, Implicit Differentiation, the Gradient and the level curves 1. If z is a function of x and y, and x and y are in turn functions of an independent variable t, the chain rule states dz dt = z dx x dt + z dy y dt In this case, z is the dependent variable, x and y are intermediate variables and t is the independent variables. 2. If z is a function of x and y, and x and y are in turn functions of two independent variables s and t, then the chain rule states z t = z x x t + z y y t 5 z and s = z x x s + z y y s

6 3. In other cases, you can find the corresponding derivatives/partial derivatives by drawing a variable tree as described in class. 4. Computationally, it is easier to plug in and write the function in terms of the independent variables and compute the required (partial) derivatives. 5. If F (x, y) = 0 is an implicit function of x and y, then the derivative dy dx formula dy dx = F x F y is given by the 6. As noted in lecture 13, The gradient vector f(x, y) of a 2 variable function is orthogonal to the level curves, and the gradient vector g(x, y, z) of a 3 variable function is normal to the level surfaces. 7. Tangent planes for an implicit function F (x, y, z) = 0 at the point (a, b, c) is given by F (a, b, c) (x a), (y b), (z c) = 0 Lecture 15: Local Maximum and Minimum Values, Second Derivative Test, and the Extreme Value Theorem 1. A function f(x, y) has a local maximum value at (a, b) if f(a, b) f(x, y) for all (x, y) in the domain of f in some open disk containing (a, b). A function f(x, y) has a local minimum value at (a, b) if f(a, b) f(x, y) for all (x, y) in the domain of f in some open disk containing (a, b). 2. A point (a, b) in the domain of f is called a critical point if either (a) Both f x (a, b) = 0 and f y (a, b) = 0 or (b) One of f x (a, b) or f y (a, b) is not defined. 3. Fermat s Theorem If f has a local maximum or a minimum at the point (a, b), then (a, b) is a critical number of f. Remark: The converse of Fermat s theorem is not true. That is, there can be points where the partial derivatives are zero or undefined, yet fail to be a local max or min. eg: Saddle points. Remark: Fermat s Theorem also implies that if f is differentiable and f has a local maximum or a local minimum at a point (a, b), then both f x (a, b) = 0 and f y (a, b) = A function f has a saddle point at a critical point (a, b) if, in every open disk centered at (a, b) there are points (x 1, y 1 ) for which f(x 1, y 1 ) > f(a, b) and points (x 2, y 2 ) for which f(x 2, y 2 ) < f(a, b). 6

7 5. Second Derivative Test: Suppose that the second order partial derivatives are continuous throughout an open disk centered at the point (a, b) where f x (a, b) = f y (a, b) = 0. We can define a new function D(x, y) called the discriminant by the formula D(x, y) = f xx (x, y)f yy (x, y) (f xy (x, y)) 2 (a) If D(a, b) > 0 and f xx (a, b) < 0, then f has a local maximum at (a, b). (b) If D(a, b) > 0 and f xx (a, b) > 0, then f has a local minimum at (a, b). (c) If D(a, b) < 0, then f has a saddle point at (a, b). (d) If D(a, b) = 0, the second derivative test is inconclusive. 6. A point (a, b) is said to be an absolute maximum of a function f defined in a domain D if f(a, b) f(x, y) for all (x, y) D. A point (a, b) is said to be an absolute minimum if f(a, b) f(x, y) for all (x, y) D. 7. Extreme Value Theorem If a function f is continuous on a closed and bounded domain D, then f has both an absolute maximum and an absolute minimum on D. Remark: By Fermat s Theorem, the absolute maximum or the minimum occurs either at critical points or on the boundary. 8. To find absolute extrema in a closed and bounded region (a) First find partial derivatives to find critical numbers of f on the domain. Evaluate the function s value at the critical numbers. (b) Parametrize the boundary, and find the critical numbers by differentiating. Evaluate the function on the points you found. (c) Pick the absolute maximum and the minimum. Make sure they are in the domain. 7
