1. The total surface area S of a cone of base radius r and perpendicular height h is given
by S = r 2 + r r 2 + h 2 . If r and h are each increasing at the rate of 0.25 cm/sec,
find the rate at which S is increasing at the instant when r = 3cm and h = 4cm .
2. The voltage V in an electrical circuit slowly decreasing as the battery wears out. The
resistance R is slowly increasing as the resistor heats up. Find how the current I is
dV
changing at the moment when R = 400, I = 0.08 A,
= 0.01Vs 1 and

5. If f ( x, y ) = tan 1 ( xy ) , find an approximate value of f (1.1, 0.8 ) using the Taylors

series (i) linear approximation (ii) quadratic approximation.
6. A space probe in the shape of the ellipsoid 4 x 2 + y 2 + 4 z 2 = 16 enters the earths
atmosphere and its surface begins to heat. After 1 hour the temperature at the point
( x, y, z ) on the surface of the probe T ( x, y, z ) = 8 x 2 + 4 yz 16 z + 600 . Find the hottest

points on the probes surface.
