Identify and briefly describe the surfaces defined by the following equations. $$y=x^{2} / 6+z^{2} / 16$$
Find the points (if they exist) at which the following planes and curves intersect. $$y=2 x+1 ; \quad \mathbf{r}(t)=\langle 10 \cos t, 2 \sin t, 1\rangle, \text { for } 0 \leq t \leq 2 \pi$$
Limits at (0,0) may be easier to evaluate by converting to polar coordinates. Remember that the same limit must be obtained as \(r \rightarrow 0\) along all paths to (0,0) Evaluate the following limits or state that they do not exist. $$\lim _{(x, y) \rightarrow(0,0)} \frac{x^{2}}{x^{2}+y^{2}}$$
Maximizing a sum Find the maximum value of \(x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}+x_{4}\) subject to the condition that \(x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}+x_{3}^{2}+x_{4}^{2}=16\).
a. Show that the point in the plane \(a x+b y+c z=d\) nearest the origin is \(P\left(a d / D^{2}, b d / D^{2}, c d / D^{2}\right),\) where \(D^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2} .\) Conclude that the least distance from the plane to the origin is \(|d| / D\). (Hint: The least distance is along a normal to the plane.) b. Show that the least distance from the point \(P_{0}\left(x_{0}, y_{0}, z_{0}\right)\) to the plane \(a x+b y+c z=d\) is \(\left|a x_{0}+b y_{0}+c z_{0}-d\right| / D\).
