Example
Find the surface is represented by the equation
x2 + y2 + z2 − 4x + 8y − 10z + 36 = 0

11. Munging an equation to see its surface
Example
Find the surface is represented by the equation
x2 + y2 + z2 − 4x + 8y − 10z + 36 = 0
Solution
We can complete the square:
0 = x2 − 4x + 4 + y2 + 8y + 16 + z2 − 10z + 25 + 36 − 4 − 16 − 25
= (x − 2)2 + (y + 4)2 + (z − 5)2 − 9
So
(x − 2)2 + (y + 4) + (z − 5)2 = 9
=⇒ |(x, y, z)(2, −4, 5)| = 3
This is a sphere of radius 3, centered at (2, −4, 5).

52. function, domain, range
Definition
A function f of two variables is a rule that assigns to each
ordered pair of real numbers (x, y) in a set D a unique real number
denoted by f(x, y). The set D is the domain of f and its range is
the set of values that f takes on. That is
range f = { f(x, y) | (x, y) ∈ D }
. . . . . .

Example
√

. . . . . .
54. Example
Example
√
Find the domain and range of f(x, y) = xy.
Solution
◮ Working from the outside in, we see that xy must be nonnegative,
which means x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0 or x ≤ 0 and y ≤ 0. Thus the domain
is the union of the coordinate axes, and the first and third quadrants.
◮ The range of f is the set of all “outputs” of f. Clearly the range of f is
restricted to the set of nonnegative numbers. To make sure that we
can get all nonnegative numbers x, notice x = f(x, x).

57. Sketch of z = 4x2 + y2
The trace in the xz-plane (y = 0) is the parabola z = 4x2 . The trace
in the yz-plane is the parabola z = y2 . The trace in the xy-plane is the
curve 4x2 + y2 = 0, which is just a point (0, 0). But the trace in the
plane z = k (k > 0) is the ellipse 4x2 + y2 = k. So we get ellipses
crossing the parabolas, an elliptic paraboloid.

Theorem
Suppose lim f(x, y) = L. Then the limit of f as (x, y) → (a, b) is L
(x,y)→(a,b)
along all paths through (a, b).
There are two contrapositives to this statement:
◮ If there is a path through (a, b) along which the limit does not exist,
the two-dimensional limit does not exist
◮ If there are two paths through (a, b) along which the limits exist but
disagree, the two-dimensional limit does not exist

130. Don’t worry about the mixed partials
The “mixed partials” bookkeeping may seem scary. However, we are
saved by:
Theorem (Clairaut’s Theorem/Young’s Theorem)
If f is defined near (a, b) and fxy and fyx are continuous at (a, b), then
fxy (a, b) = fyx (a, b).
The upshot is that we needn’t worry about the ordering.
. . . . . .
132. Example (Continued)
Let f(x, y) = x3 − 3xy2 . Find the second derivatives of f.
Solution
We have
fxx = (3x2 − 3y2 )x = 6x
fxy = (3x2 − 3y2 )y = −6y
fyx = (−6xy)x = −6y
fyy = (−6xy)y = −6x
Notice that fyx = fxy , as predicted by Clairaut (everything is a
polynomial here so there are no concerns about continuity). The fact
that fxx = fyy is a coincidence.

So the linear approximation is L = 7500 + 15(x − 50) + 135(y − 50)

144. Solution, continued
So the linear approximation is
L = 7500 + 15(x − 50) + 135(y − 50)
If ∆x = 5 and ∆y = −1, then
L = 7500 + 15 · 5 + 135 · (−1) = 7440
The actual value is
P(55, 49) ≈ 7427

So we are off by ≈ 1.75%

145. Tangent planes to parametrized surfaces
◮ If r(u, v) parametrizes a surface S, and P0 = r(u0 , v0 ), then the
vector
r(u0 + h, v0 ) − r(u0 , v0 )
ru (u0 , v0 ) = lim
h→0 h
is tangent to S at P.
◮ If r(u, v) = x(u, v)i + y(u, v)j + z(u, v)k, then
∂x ∂y ∂z
ru (u0 , v0 ) = (u0 , v0 )i + (u0 , v0 )j + (u0 , v0 )k
∂u ∂u ∂u
◮ We have another tangent vector
∂x ∂y ∂z
rv (u0 , v0 ) = (u0 , v0 )i + (u0 , v0 )j + (u0 , v0 )k
∂v ∂v ∂v
◮ Their cross product is normal to the tangent plane.

146. Example
Find an equation of the tangent plane to the parametric surface
r(u, v) = u2 i + 2u sin v j + u cos v k
at the point u = 1 and v = 0.
. . . . . .
147. Example
Find an equation of the tangent plane to the parametric surface
r(u, v) = u2 i + 2u sin v j + u cos v k
at the point u = 1 and v = 0.
Solution
The point we are finding the tangent plane at is r(1, 0) = ⟨1, 0, 1⟩. The
tangent plane is spanned by the two vectors ru (1, 0) and rv (1, 0):
ru (u, v) = ⟨2u, 2 sin v, cos v⟩ =⇒ ru (1, 0) = ⟨2, 0, 1⟩
rv (u, v) = ⟨0, 2u cos v, −u sin v⟩ =⇒ rv (1, 0) = ⟨0, 2, 0⟩
So a normal vector to the tangent plane is
ru (1, 0) × rv (1, 0) = ⟨2, 0, 1⟩ × ⟨0, 2, 0⟩ = ⟨−2, 0, 4⟩
This means an equation for the tangent plane is
−2(x − 1) + 4(z − 1) = 0. . . . . . .
148. Differentials
This is really just another way to express linear approximation.
Define new variables dx = ∆x, dy = ∆y, dz. Then the equation for
the tangent plane through (x0 , y0 , z0 = f(x0 , y0 )) is
∂f ∂f
dz = dx + dy
∂x ∂y
And the concept that this is a good linear approximation is expressed
as
∆z = f(x + dx, y + dy) − f(x, y) ≈ dx
when dx and dy are “small enough”
. . . . . .
149. Example
If z = 5x2 + y2 and (x, y) changes from (1, 2) to (1.05, 2.1), compare
the values of ∆z and dz.
. . . . . .
150. Example
If z = 5x2 + y2 and (x, y) changes from (1, 2) to (1.05, 2.1), compare
the values of ∆z and dz.
Solution
We have
dz = 10x dx + 2y dy
When x = 1, y = 2, dx = 0.05, and dy = 0.1, we get dz = 0.9. On the
other hand
z(1.05, 2.1) = 9.9225
So ∆z = 0.9225. The difference is 0.0225, or 2.4%.
