Find the equation of the tangent plane to the surface given by at the point

MATH 3090 Problem Set #5

 

Directions:  Work each problem on clean paper.  Your solutions should be clear, error-free, cogent, and didactic.  You should assume that you are writing so that a C calculus student can understand how to solve the problem by reading your solution.  To that end, writing short explanations and notes are a good.

 

  1. Draw a contour map for for  .  Then sketch the shape of the solid base on what you found.  You can check your drawing against calcplot3D or geogebra to see how close you came.  Make sure you understand how the contour map leads to the 3-dimensional sketch.

 

  1. List all regions of discontinuity for the function in the domain region given by

 

  1. Sketch the solid produced by . You may find online graphing tools such as  https://c3d.libretexts.org/CalcPlot3D/index.html or  https://www.geogebra.org/3d?lang=en  However, when test time comes, you should be able to reason out the graph of a function of this type.  So, make certain that you understand why it makes the shape that it does.
