Borah Problem Set 7 1. Find a vector normal to the surface z= x2 + y 2 + (x2 + y 2 )3/2 at a point (x0 , y0 , z0 ) = (0, 0, 0) on the surface. Also nd an equation of the tangent plane to the surface at this point. 2. If (x0 , y0 , z0 ) is a point on the surface z = xy , then the two lines z = y0 x, y = y0 and z = x0 y, x = x0 intersect at (x0 , y0 , z0 ) and lie on the surface. Verify that the tangent plane to this surface at the point (x0 , y0 , z0 ) contains these two lines. 3. Find all the points on the surface z = x2 xy + 2y 2 , where the tangent plane to the surface is parallel to the xy -plane. 4.
