Homework 4 of Matb 210 (Hand in to TA Wang Zhibo in Tutorial) due on
15/9/2014(Mon) for matb210-002, on 17/9/2014(Wed) for matb210-003.
13.5 (Read example 6 on p.873 and example 3 on p. 881) Find all the points (x, y)
on the given surface z = f (x, y) at which the tangent plane is horizontal.
Remark. A normal vector n to the tangent plane of the graph S of z = f (x, y)
is given by n = (fx , fy , 1) = fx (x, y)i + fy (x, y)j k, so the tangent plane is
horizontal at the point (x, y, f (x, y)) of S if and only if the point (x, y) satisfies the
equations fx (x, y) = fy (x, y) = 0.

13.5 (Read example 6 on p.883) Find the maximum and minimum values attained
by the given function f (x, y) on the given region R in xy-plane.
25. f (x, y) = x2 +y 2 2x;
and C(0, 2).

R is the triangular region with vertices at A(0, 0), B(2, 0),

5. z = x2 + y 2 6x + 2y + 5

6. z = 10 + 8x 6y x2 y 2

13.5 (Read example 6 on p.883) Find the highest and lowest points (if they exist) on
the graph z = f (x, y) :
18. z = 3x4 + 4x3 + 6y 4 16y 3 + 12y 2 zx = 12x2 (
), zy = 24y(
).
Then (zx , zy ) = (0, 0) if and only if (x, y) = ( , ), or ( , ) or
There is only the lowest point on the graph, because f (x, 0) = 3x4 + 4x3 =
3x2 x2 + 4x3 3x2 when x 1, and then f (x, 0) is not bounded from above, so
there is not any highest point on the graph.

21. z = exp(2x 4y x2 y 2 ). In fact, it follow that exp is an increasing function,

so it suffices to determine the highest and lowest points of the function g(x, y) =
2x 4y x2 y 2 .

28. f (x, y) = xy 2 ; R is the circular disk x2 + y 2 3.

Remark. One can parameterize the boundary the disk by using x = 3 cos t
and y = 3 sin t, (0 t 2).
