The graphs in the contour map are parallel
lines so the horizontal cross-sections of the
1. hyperbolic paraboloid correct
surface are all lines as in planes and parabolic
cylinders. On the other hand, the values of the
2. paraboloid
contours and the grid show that these cross-
sections grow at a constant rate. Now for a
3. cone
plane the contours are equally spaced lines,
whereas for a parabolic cylinder the contours
4. parabolic cylinder
will be increasingly close together.
Consequently, of the surfaces shown, the
5. plane
only one having the given contour map is a
Explanation:
As the graphs in the contour map show, the
z horizontal cross-sections of the surface are all
hyperbolas, while the values of the contours
show that the vertical cross-sections all de-
crease in one direction and all increase in the
perpendicular direction. Thus the vertical
cross-sections look like parabolas opening up
y in one direction and down in the perpendicu-
lar direction.
Consequently, of the surfaces listed, the
x only one having the given contour map is a
hyperbolic paraboloid .

1. fy = − sin y we see that

fxx = 4x, fxy = 2, fyy = 4.

2. fy = 8x7 sin y 8

Consequently,

fxx fyy − (fxy )2 = 16x − 4.

1. fxx fyy − (fxy )2 = 16x − 4 correct

2. fxx fyy − (fxy )2 = 16x + 4

3. fxx fyy − (fxy )2 = 8x − 4

4. fxx fyy − (fxy )2 = 16x − 2

5. fxx fyy − (fxy )2 = 8x + 4

Explanation:
After differentiation once

fx = 2x2 + 7 + 2y, fy = 4y + 6 + 2x.
