Name

1) (2 points each) Suppose that f (x, y) = x3 y−5x2 y 2 +2xy 3 and that you are given that f (−1, 3) = −102
and ∇f (−1, 3) = (153, −85) (you don’t need to calculate these again).
a) Find the linearization of f at (−1, 3). (b) Give an equation for the tangent plane to the graph of f at
(−1, 3) (really at (−1, 3, −102)). (c) Use the linearization to estimate the value of f at (−0.999, 2.997).

s
2) (4 points) Suppose that f (x, y, z) = z 2 ln(x − y) and x = s + t, y =, z = st. Use the Multivariable
t
Chain Rule to calculate ∂f /∂t. (If you do not use the Multivariable Chain Rule, you will get 0 points.)
