Short Answer

Describe the meanings of each of the following mathematical expressions:
$\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}$

Ans: $\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}$ It means a partial derivative of w with respect to z. Or the partial rate of change of w with respect to z.

Explain how you could use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find the extrema of a function of two variables, $f (x, y),$ subject to the constraint that $(x, y)$ is on the boundary of the rectangle $R$ defined by $a \leq x \leq b and c \leq y \leq d .$

Evaluate the following limits, or explain why the limit does not exist.

$\lim_{(x, y, z) \to (1, 0, - 1)} \frac{\sin (x y)}{x^{2} - y^{2} + z^{2}}$

Find the gradient of the given function, and find the direction in which the function increases most rapidly at the specified point P.

$f (x, y) = \frac{y}{x}, P = (4, 3)$

Describe the meanings of each of the following mathematical expressions:

$\nabla f (x, y, z)$

In Exercises, by considering the function $f (x, y) = x^{2} y$ subject to the constraint $x + y = 0,$ you will explore a situation in which the method of Lagrange multipliers does not provide an extremum of a function.

Explain why $(0, 0)$ is not an extremum of $f (x, y) = x^{2} y$ subject to the constraint $x + y = 0 .$
