Identify and briefly describe the surfaces defined by the following equations. $$z^{2}+4 y^{2}-x^{2}=1$$
Match equations a-f with surfaces A-F. a. \(y-z^{2}=0\) b. \(2 x+3 y-z=5\) c. \(4 x^{2}+\frac{y^{2}}{9}+z^{2}=1\) d. \(x^{2}+\frac{y^{2}}{9}-z^{2}=1\) e. \(x^{2}+\frac{y^{2}}{9}=z^{2}\) f. \(y=|x|\)
Explain why or why not Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample. a. Suppose you are standing at the center of a sphere looking at a point \(P\) on the surface of the sphere. Your line of sight to \(P\) is orthogonal to the plane tangent to the sphere at \(P\). b. At a point that maximizes \(f\) on the curve \(g(x, y)=0,\) the dot product \(\nabla f \cdot \nabla g\) is zero.
Use the formal definition of a limit to prove that $$\lim _{(x, y) \rightarrow(a, b)} y=b .(\text {Hint}: \text { Take } \delta=\varepsilon$$
Let \(E\) be the ellipsoid \(x^{2} / 9+y^{2} / 4+z^{2}=1, P\) be the plane \(z=A x+B y,\) and \(C\) be the intersection of \(E\) and \(P\). a. Is \(C\) an ellipse for all values of \(A\) and \(B\) ? Explain. b. Sketch and interpret the situation in which \(A=0\) and \(B \neq 0\). c. Find an equation of the projection of \(C\) on the \(x y\) -plane. d. Assume \(A=\frac{1}{6}\) and \(B=\frac{1}{2} .\) Find a parametric description of \(C\) as a curve in \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\). (Hint: Assume \(C\) is described by \(\langle a \cos t+b \sin t, c \cos t+d \sin t, e \cos t+f \sin t\rangle\) and find \(a, b, c, d, e, \text { and } f .)\)
