Solutions for Sections 3.5, 4.1

Homework #8

Here are solutions to the even-numbered exercises, as well as most of the odd-numbered ones. Solutions for the odd-numbered exercises are in the back of the book. There may be more than one way to solve some problems. 3.5 2.
F 4 z = 1 + 15xz z y (1, 0) = 1/4.

so

F z (1, 0, 1)

= 16 = 0. Thus the equation is solvable.

z x (1, 0)

= 1/16 and

5.

equation is not solvable at the origin. But (1, 1, 1). The answers in the back of the book z z for the partials are wrong, the correct answers are: x (1, 1) = 2 and y (1, 1) = 1.

F F 3 2 z = 2x 3xyz so z (0, 0, 0) = 0. Thus the F z (1, 1, 1) = 1 = 0 so the equation is solvable at

8. J(f )(0, 0, 0) = 1 so the set of equations is solvable. 10. (c) Just compute the Jacobian for the function f (, , ) = (x, y, z). (d) Knowing (c), its invertible away from the origin ( = 0) and away from the z-axis ( = 0). This is exaclty where representation in spherical coordinates is not unique! 4.1 1. r (t) = ( sin t, 2 cos 2t), r (0) = (0, 2), r (t) = ( cos t, 4 sin 2t). The line is given by: l(t) = (1, 0) + t(0, 2) 4. r (t) = (1, 1, t), r (9) = (1, 1, 3), r (t) = (0, 0, 1/(2 t). The line is given by: l(t) = (9, 9, 18) + t(1, 1, 3) 9. r (0) = (0, 6, 0), so the force is given by (0, 6, 0)m. 13. If the speed ||v(t)|| is constant then its square is too. where a is acceleration.
d 2 dt ||v(t)||

d dt v v

= (2v) dv = 2v a = 0, dt
