Question 1
Find the tangent line of the curve implicitly defined by x2 + y2 = z3 andez sin(xy) = 0 at the point (0, 1, 1).
Solution: Let f : R3 → R2 be defined as
f (x , y , z) =
(x2 + y2 − z3
ez sin(xy)
)Compute the derivative:
Df(x ,y ,z) =
[2x 2y −3z2
yez cos(xy) xez cos(xy) ez sin(xy)
]
Df(0,1,1) =
[0 2 −3e 0 0
]Since rank(Df(0,1,1)) = 2, the tangent space of the curve at (0, 1, 1) isker(Df(0,1,1)) = span{(0, 3, 2)}.Thus, the tangent line at (0, 1, 1) is {(0, 1, 1) + t(0, 3, 2) : t ∈ R}.

Df(0,1,1) =
[0 2 −3e 0 0

Show that ∂y∫ ba f (x , y)dx =

(Hint: Fubini’s theorem and FTC: ∂t∫ tc g(s) ds = g(t).)
Remark: Leibniz’s rule is also true without the condition “f (x , y) isnon-decreasing w.r.t y”.
By the extreme value theorem, since ∂t f (x , t) is continuous on[a, b]× [0, y ] (compact), we know that ∃M ≥ 0 such that∀(x , t) ∈ [a, b]× [0, y ], |∂t f (x , t)| ≤ M.
So, Fubini’s theorem still applies.

Question 5
Let f : R \ {0} → R be a function satisfying x2f (x) + ef (x) = x . Calculatef ′(x).
Solution: We differentiate the whole equation with respect to x , then
2xf (x) + x2f ′(x) + f ′(x)ef (x) = 1
Sox2f ′(x) + f ′(x)ef (x) = 1− 2xf (x)

Remark. A more complicated version of this problem would writex2y + ey = x and ask you when can you write one variable as a functionof the other (locally), and compute the derivative. You need to useimplicit function theorem.

Question 6
Prove the AM-GM inequality: For x , y ≥ 0,√xy ≤ x + y
2using
constrained optimization.
Solution:We can prove it by optimizing f (x , y) =
√xy subject to
g(x , y) =x + y
2= c for some c > 0.
For x , y 6= 0, ∇f (x , y) = (
√y
2√x,
√x
2√y
)T ,∇g(x , y) = (1
2,
1
2)T
We want ∇f (x , y) = λ∇g(x , y) for some λ ∈ R. Then
√y√x
=
√x√y
, which
implies x = y = c . f (c , c) = c .We also need to check the boundary points (0, 2c) and (2c , 0).f (0, 2c) = f (2c , 0) = 0. So the constrained maximum of f is c , whichimplies f (x , y) ≤ g(x , y) when x , y ≥ 0.
