Example Questions

Example Question #352 : Limits

$\begin{align*}&\text{Calculate the limits of the function}\\&\lim_{(x,y)\rightarrow(0-,0+)}\frac{(26x^{3}y^{2} - 14x^{5})}{(18xy^{4} - 5x^{4}y + 3x^{5} + 3y^{5})}\\&\text{along the y-axis and the line, }y=x\end{align*}$

Possible Answers:

$\begin{align*}&\text{y-axis: }\frac{36}{19}\\&y=x:0\end{align*}$

$\begin{align*}&\text{y-axis: }0\\&y=x:\frac{6}{133}\end{align*}$

$\begin{align*}&\text{y-axis: }0\\&y=x:\frac{12}{19}\end{align*}$

$\begin{align*}&\text{y-axis: }-\frac{120}{19}\\&y=x:0\end{align*}$

Correct answer:

$\begin{align*}&\text{y-axis: }0\\&y=x:\frac{12}{19}\end{align*}$

Explanation:

$\begin{align*}&\text{To approach this problem, it is important to understand what}\\ &\text{it is asking. Along the y-axis, }x=0\text{. Let us make that substitution:}\\&\frac{(26(0)^{3}y^{2} - 14(0)^{5})}{(18(0)y^{4} - 5(0)^{4}y + 3(0)^{5} + 3y^{5})}=\frac{0}{3y^{5}}\\&\lim_{(0,y)\rightarrow(0-,0+)}\frac{0}{3y^{5}}=0\\&\text{We can make a similar substitution for }y=x:\\&\lim_{(x,x)\rightarrow(0-,0-)}\frac{(26x^{3}(x)^{2} - 14x^{5})}{(18x(x)^{4} - 5x^{4}(x) + 3x^{5} + 3(x)^{5})}=\frac{12}{19}\\&\text{As these two limits are different, the limit does not exist.}\end{align*}$

Example Question #1311 : Calculus 3

Evaluate:

$\lim_{(x,y)\rightarrow (0,1)} \frac{x^2+xy}{y}$

Possible Answers:

Does not exist

$\infty$

$-\infty$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Since we won't have any divided by zero problems, we can just evaluate at the point.

$\lim_{(x,y)\rightarrow (0,1)} \frac{x^2+xy}{y}=\frac{0^2+0\cdot1}{1}=0$

Example Question #1313 : Calculus 3

Compute $\frac{dz}{dt}$ for $z=2xe^{xy}$ , x=t^3 , $y=t^{-2}$ .

Possible Answers:

$\frac{dz}{dt}=(6t^2e^{xy}+2xye^{xy})$

$\frac{dz}{dt}=6t^2e^{xy}-4t^{-3}x^2e^{xy}$

$\frac{dz}{dt}=(4t^{-3}x^2e^{xy})$

$\frac{dz}{dt}=(6t^2e^{xy}+2xye^{xy})-(4t^{-3}x^2e^{xy})$

$\frac{dz}{dt}=(6t^2e^{xy}-2xye^{xy})-(4t^{-3}x^2e^{xy})$

Correct answer:

$\frac{dz}{dt}=(6t^2e^{xy}+2xye^{xy})-(4t^{-3}x^2e^{xy})$

Explanation:

All we need to do is use the formula for multivariable chain rule.

$\frac{dz}{dt}=\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}\frac{dy}{dt}$

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}=2e^{xy}+2xye^{xy}$

$\frac{dx}{dt}=3t^2$

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}=2x^2e^{xy}$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-2t^{-3}$

When we put this all together, we get.

$\frac{dz}{dt}=(6t^2e^{xy}+2xye^{xy})-(4t^{-3}x^2e^{xy})$

Example Question #2 : Multi Variable Chain Rule

Evaluate $\frac{\partial a}{\partial x}$ in terms of and/or if a= x-3y+z^2 , x=r^3 , y= s+2r , and z=6r .

Possible Answers:

3r^2-3s-6r+12r^2

3r^2+72r-6

3r^2+72rs-6

3r^6 +72r-6

Correct answer:

3r^2+72r-6

Explanation:

Expand the equation for chain rule.

$\frac{\partial a}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial a}{\partial x}\frac{\partial x}{\partial r}+ \frac{\partial a}{\partial y}\frac{\partial y}{\partial r} + \frac{\partial a}{\partial z}\frac{\partial z}{\partial r}$

Evaluate each partial derivative.

$\frac{\partial a}{\partial x} = 1$ , $\frac{\partial x}{\partial r} =3r^2$

$\frac{\partial a}{\partial y}= -3$ , $\frac{\partial y}{\partial r} = 2$

$\frac{\partial a}{\partial z} =2z$ , $\frac{\partial z}{\partial r} = 6$

Substitute the terms in the equation.

$\frac{\partial a}{\partial x} =(1)(3r^2)+(-3)(2)+(2z)(6) = 3r^2-6+12z$

Substitute z=6r .

3r^2-6+12(6r) = 3r^2+72r-6

The answer is: 3r^2+72r-6

Possible Answers:

$\frac{dr}{dt}=9-t$

$\frac{dr}{dt}=-t^3+5t^2+2t-3$

$\frac{dr}{dt}=4t^3-6t^2+4$

Correct answer:

$\frac{dr}{dt}=4t^3-6t^2+4$

Explanation:

The chain rule states $\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\partial y}{\partial q}\frac{dq}{dx}$ .

Since and are both functions of , $\frac{dr}{dt}$ must be found using the chain rule.

In this problem

$\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{\partial r}{\partial z}\frac{dz}{dt}+\frac{\partial r}{\partial y}\frac{dy}{dt}$

Explanation:

The chain rule states $\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\partial y}{\partial q}\frac{dq}{dx}$ .

$=\left ( 12\left ( t^2-6t+12\right )^3\right )\left ( 2t-6\right )+\left ( 10\left ( t-5\right )\right )\left ( 1\right )$

$=\left12 ( t^6-18t^5+144t^4-648t^3+1728t^2-2592t+1728\right )\left ( 2t-6\right )+10t-50$

$\frac{dr}{dt}=4t^3-6t^2+4sin\left ( 4t^3-6t^2+4 \right )$

$\frac{dr}{dt}=(t^4-3t^3-128t^2-49t)sin(t^5-131t^4+66t^3-98t^2+17t-121)$

$\frac{dr}{dt}=(-25t^4+48t^3-108t^2+168t-7)sin(5t^5-12t^4+36t^3-84t^2+7t)$

$\frac{dr}{dt}=(5t^4+8t^3-18t^2-9t)cos(4t^5-11t^4+6t^3-8t^2+7t-11)$

Explanation:

The chain rule states $\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\partial y}{\partial q}\frac{dq}{dx}$ .

Since and are both functions of , $\frac{dr}{dt}$ must be found using the chain rule.

In this problem

$\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{\partial r}{\partial a}\frac{da}{dt}+\frac{\partial r}{\partial b}\frac{db}{dt}$

$\frac{\partial r}{\partial a}=cos(ab^2)(b^2)$

=cos(405t^7-81t^6)(81t^6)

$\frac{da}{dt}=5$

$\frac{\partial r}{\partial b}=cos(ab^2)(2ab)$

=cos(405t^7-81t^6)(-90t^4+18t^3)

$\frac{db}{dt}=-27t^2$

$\frac{dr}{dt}=\left ( cos(405t^7-81t^6)(81t^6) \right )(5)+(cos(405t^7-81t^6)(-90t^4+18t^3))(-27t^2)$

=405t^6*cos(405t^7-81t^6)+(2430t^6-486t^5)cos(405t^7-81t^6)
