This document contains practice problems for the Spring 2003 Math 113 Calculus III final exam. Calculus III is typically a continuation of Calculus II and focuses on multivariable calculus, including partial derivatives, multiple integrals, vector calculus, and applications.
The final exam will cover the following key topics:
Find the equation of the plane that passes through the points (1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0), and (0, 0, 1).
To find the equation of the plane, we can first find two vectors in the plane:
v = (0, 1, 0) - (1, 0, 0) = (-1, 1, 0)
v = (0, 0, 1) - (1, 0, 0) = (-1, 0, 1)
The normal vector to the plane is the cross product of these two vectors:
n = v v = (11 - 00, 0(-1) - (-1)1, (-1)0 - 1(-1)) = (1, 1, 1)
Using the point-normal form of the plane equation with point (1, 0, 0):
1(x - 1) + 1(y - 0) + 1(z - 0) = 0
x + y + z = 1
Find all first and second partial derivatives of the function:
f(x, y) = xy + sin(xy) + e^(x+y)
First Partial Derivatives:
f/x = 3xy + ycos(xy) + e^(x+y)
f/y = 2xy + xcos(xy) + e^(x+y)
Second Partial Derivatives:
f/x = 6xy - ysin(xy) + e^(x+y)
f/y = 2x - xsin(xy) + e^(x+y)
f/xy = 6xy + cos(xy) - xysin(xy) + e^(x+y)
f/yx = 6xy + cos(xy) - xysin(xy) + e^(x+y)
Find the directional derivative of the function f(x, y, z) = xyz at the point (1, 1, 2) in the direction of the vector v = 2i + j - 2k.
First, compute the gradient of f:
f = (f/x, f/y, f/z) = (yz, xz, 2xyz)
Evaluate the gradient at the point (1, 1, 2):
f(1, 1, 2) = (12, 12, 2112) = (4, 4, 4)
Normalize the direction vector v:
|v| = (2 + 1 + (-2)) = 9 = 3
u = v/|v| = (2/3)i + (1/3)j - (2/3)k
The directional derivative is:
D_u f = f(1, 1, 2) u = 4(2/3) + 4(1/3) + 4(-2/3) = 8/3 + 4/3 - 8/3 = 4/3
Calculate the double integral:
_R (x + y) dA
where R is the region bounded by the curves y = x and y = 2 - x.
First, find the intersection points of y = x and y = 2 - x:
x = 2 - x 2x = 2 x = 1 x = 1
The region R can be described as:
R = {(x, y) : -1 x 1, x y 2 - x}
Setting up the double integral:
_{-1}^{1} _{x}^{2-x} (x + y) dy dx
First, integrate with respect to y:
_{-1}^{1} [xy + y/2]_{y=x}^{y=2-x} dx
= _{-1}^{1} [x(2-x) + (2-x)/2 - x(x) - (x)/2] dx
= _{-1}^{1} [2x - x + (4 - 4x + x)/2 - x - x/2] dx
= _{-1}^{1} [2x - 2x + 2 - 2x] dx
= [x - x/2 + 2x - 2x/3]_{-1}^{1}
= (1 - 1/2 + 2 - 2/3) - (1 - 1/2 - 2 + 2/3)
= (1 - 1/2 + 2 - 2/3 - 1 + 1/2 + 2 - 2/3)
= 4 - 4/3 = 8/3
Calculate the triple integral:
_E z dV
where E is the tetrahedron bounded by the four planes x = 0, y = 0, z = 0, and x + y + z = 1.
The region E can be described as:
E = {(x, y, z) : 0 x 1, 0 y 1 - x, 0 z 1 - x - y}
Setting up the triple integral:
_{0}^{1} _{0}^{1-x} _{0}^{1-x-y} z dz dy dx
First, integrate with respect to z:
_{0}^{1} _{0}^{1-x} [z/2]_{z=0}^{z=1-x-y} dy dx
= _{0}^{1} _{0}^{1-x} (1-x-y)/2 dy dx
Next, integrate with respect to y:
= (1/2) _{0}^{1} _{0}^{1-x} (1 - 2x - 2y + x + 2xy + y) dy dx
= (1/2) _{0}^{1} [(1 - 2x + x)y + xy + y/3]_{y=0}^{y=1-x} dx
= (1/2) _{0}^{1} [(1 - 2x + x)(1 - x) + x(1 - x) + (1 - x)/3] dx
Simplifying and integrating with respect to x:
= (1/2) _{0}^{1} (1 - 3x + 3x - x) dx
= (1/2) [x - 3x/2 + x - x/4]_{0}^{1}
= (1/2) (1 - 3/2 + 1 - 1/4)
= (1/2) (3/4) = 3/8
Evaluate the line integral:
_C (2xy dx + 3xy dy)
where C is the curve r(t) = (t, t) for 0 t 1.
Parameterize the curve: x = t, y = t, 0 t 1
Compute the derivatives: dx/dt = 2t, dy/dt = 3t
Substitute into the line integral:
_{0}^{1} [2(t)(t)(2t) + 3(t)(t)(3t)] dt
= _{0}^{1} [2tt(2t) + 3tt(3t)] dt
= _{0}^{1} [4t + 9t] dt
= _{0}^{1} 13t dt
= [13t/13]_{0}^{1} = 1
Evaluate the surface integral:
_S (x + y) dS
where S is the part of the surface z = x + y that lies below the plane z = 4.
Parameterize the surface using polar coordinates: x = r cos, y = r sin, z = r
The surface can be described as: 0 r 2, 0 2
Compute the surface element:
dS = |r_r r_| dr d
where r(r,) = (r cos, r sin, r)
Compute the partial derivatives:
r_r = (cos, sin, 2r)
r_ = (-r sin, r cos, 0)
Calculate the cross product:
r_r r_ = (-2r cos, -2r sin, r)
Find its magnitude:
|r_r r_| = (4r cos + 4r sin + r) = (4r + r) = r(4r + 1)
Set up the surface integral:
_{0}^{2} _{0}^{2} r r(4r + 1) dr d
= _{0}^{2} d _{0}^{2} r(4r + 1) dr
= 2 _{0}^{2} r(4r + 1) dr
Using substitution u = 4r + 1, du = 8r dr, r = (u-1)/4, r dr = r r dr = (u-1)/4 du/8 = (u-1)du/32:
= 2 _{1}^{17} (u-1)u du/32
= (/16) _{1}^{17} (u^(3/2) - u^(1/2)) du
= (/16) [2/5 u^(5/2) - 2/3 u^(3/2)]_{1}^{17}
= (/16) [(2/517^(5/2) - 2/317^(3/2)) - (2/5 - 2/3)]
= (/16) [2/517^(5/2) - 2/317^(3/2) + 4/15]
= /4017^(5/2) - /2417^(3/2) + /60
= /120 (317^(5/2) - 517^(3/2) + 2)
Use Green's Theorem to evaluate the line integral:
_C (3y + e^x) dx + (10x + cos(y^2)) dy
where C is the rectangle with vertices (0, 0), (3, 0), (3, 2), and (0, 2), oriented counterclockwise.
Green's Theorem states:
_C P dx + Q dy = _D (Q/x - P/y) dA
Compute the partial derivatives:
Q/x = /x (10x + cos(y)) = 10
P/y = /y (3y + e^x) = 3
Set up the double integral over the rectangular region D: 0 x 3, 0 y 2:
_D (10 - 3) dA = _{0}^{3} _{0}^{2} 7 dy dx
= 7 3 2 = 42
Use Stokes' Theorem to evaluate the surface integral:
_S ( F) dS
where F(x, y, z) = (yzi, zxj, xyk) and S is the part of the paraboloid z = 1 - x - y that lies above the xy-plane, oriented upward.
Stokes' Theorem states:
_S ( F) dS = _S F dr
The boundary S is the curve where the paraboloid intersects the xy-plane (z = 0), so:
0 = 1 - x - y x + y = 1
This is a circle of radius 1 in the xy-plane, which can be parameterized as:
x = cos(t), y = sin(t), z = 0, 0 t 2
Evaluating F on this curve (where z = 0):
F(cos(t), sin(t), 0) = (0, 0, cos(t)sin(t))
Compute dr:
dr = (-sin(t), cos(t), 0) dt
Calculate the line integral:
_S F dr = _{0}^{2} (0, 0, cos(t)sin(t)) (-sin(t), cos(t), 0) dt
= _{0}^{2} 0 dt = 0
Therefore, _S ( F) dS = 0
Use the Divergence Theorem to calculate the flux of the vector field:
F(x, y, z) = (x, y, z)
across the surface of the sphere x + y + z = 4, oriented outward.
The Divergence Theorem states:
_S F dS = _E F dV
Compute the divergence of F:
F = /x(x) + /y(y) + /z(z) = 3x + 3y + 3z = 3(x + y + z)
Set up the triple integral over the sphere E: x + y + z 4
Using spherical coordinates:
0 2, 0 2, 0
_E F dV = 3 _0^{2} _0^ _0^2 () sin() d d d
= 3 _0^{2} d _0^ sin() d _0^2 d
= 3 2 2 32/5 = 384/5
Make sure you deeply understand the three major theorems: Green's Theorem, Stokes' Theorem, and the Divergence Theorem. Know their hypotheses, conclusions, and when to apply each one.
Practice parameterizing curves and surfaces. Strong skills in parameterization are essential for line integrals and surface integrals.
Some problems can be solved using different methods. For example, flux calculations can often be done either directly or using a theorem. Practice both approaches to develop flexibility.
Be comfortable converting between rectangular, polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates. Each coordinate system simplifies certain types of problems.
Always check your computations, especially with signs and derivatives in multivariable calculus. Small errors can significantly change your answers.
These practice problems cover the major topics typically included in a Calculus III final exam. To prepare effectively, work through these problems multiple times, ensure you understand each step, and attempt similar problems from your textbook. Remember that calculus mastery comes through regular practice and deep understanding of concepts, not just memorization of formulas. Good luck with your final exam!
