The allocated time for this exam is 50 minutes. This is a closed book exam.
Write your name in PRINT on this page and on page 7 in the designated spaces.

1. (22 pts.) Consider the curve parameterized by ~r(t) = t~i + t2 t ~j.
(a) Find the velocity ~v (t).

(b) Find the acceleration ~a(t).

(c) Find all points on the curve where the tangent is horizontal, i.e., parallel to the xaxis.

(d) Set up an integral for the length of the curve segment between the points corresponding
to t = 0 and t = 1. (You dont have to evaluate this integral.)

2. (16 pts.) Consider the solid double cone C sketched below. Write the integral
Z
cos z dV.
C

in cylindrical coordinates. (Hint: Set up the integrals over the two cones separately. You
dont have to evaluate the integral.)

3. (20 pts.) Consider the change of variables from (u, v) to (x, y) given by

x = (u + v),
y = (u v).

(a) Compute the Jacobian determinant 
(u, v) 

(b) Consider the region R in xyspace sketched to the right. (Its a square
with vertices (1, 0), (1, 0), (0, 1) and (0, 1).) Use the above change
of coordinates to evaluate the integral
Z
(x + y) dA.
R

(Hint: The pre-image of R in uvspace is a rectangle with sides

parallel to the x and yaxes.)

4. (24 pts.) Consider the two curves C1 and C2 sketched to

the right. C1 is a line segment connecting the origin to
the point (2, 3, 0), and C2 is a half-circle parallel to the
yzplane, centered on the xaxis and containing the point -4
(2, 3, 0).

5. (18 pts.) The diagrams on page 10 show plots of the six vector fields given in the table
below. Match each vector field to its plot by writing the correct letter next to the vector field
in the table. (You can rip off the last page for your convenience.)
