1. Find zx and zy if z = x2 Tan-1(y/x) - y2 Tan-1(x/y).

2. One leg of a right triangle increases from 5 to 5.2 while the

other leg decreases from 12 to 11.5. Find the approximate
change in the hypotenuse.

3. The formula g = 2s / t2 is used to determine the acceleration

of gravity. For a possible error of 1% in s and a possible
error of ½% in t, find the maximum percentage error in g.
Hint: Possible Error in s is ds/s, Possible Error in t is dt/t.

4. Show that ztt = a2 zxx if z = ex-at cos(x-at)

5. Show that xzxx + yzxy = y2zyy if z = xy + y ln xy

6. Minimize the material needed to create an open box with

dimensions xyz and a volume of 108 in3.

Hint: Equations to be differentiated

containing more than one variable, apply partial derivatives.
 7. w = x2 ey + y ln z , Find dw

8. Pressure of certain gas can be described by P = 8.314 T / V

, find dP. If the volume goes from 20L to 20.2L and the
temperature from 300K to 295K, find the approximate
change in pressure.

9. w = x2y - xy3 , x = cost ; y = et ,Find dw/dt @ t = 0

10. w = x Tan-1(yz) , x = u1/2 , y = e-2v , z = v cos u . Find wu

and wv
