Find the point on the surface curve \(y=x^{2}\) nearest the line \(y=x-1 .\) Identify the point on the line.
Evaluate the following limits. $$\lim _{(x, y) \rightarrow(1,0)} \frac{\sin x y}{x y}$$
Prove that for the plane described by \(f(x, y)=A x+B y,\) where \(A\) and \(B\) are nonzero constants, the gradient is constant (independent of \((x, y)\) ). Interpret this result.
Show that $$\lim _{(x, y) \rightarrow(0,0)} \frac{a x^{2(p-n)} y^{n}}{b x^{2 p}+c y^{p}} \text { does }$$ not exist when \(a, b,\) and \(c\) are nonzero real numbers and \(n\) and \(p\) are positive integers with \(p \geq n\)
Use the definition of the gradient (in two or three dimensions), assume that \(f\) and \(g\) are differentiable functions on \(\mathbb{R}^{2}\) or \(\mathbb{R}^{3},\) and let \(c\) be a constant. Prove the following gradient rules. a. Constants Rule: \(\nabla(c f)=c \nabla f\) b. Sum Rule: \(\nabla(f+g)=\nabla f+\nabla g\) c. Product Rule: \(\nabla(f g)=(\nabla f) g+f \nabla g\) d. Quotient Rule: \(\nabla\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)=\frac{g \nabla f-f \nabla g}{g^{2}}\) e. Chain Rule: \(\nabla(f \circ g)=f^{\prime}(g) \nabla g,\) where \(f\) is a function of one variable
