Instructions: Answer all questions with proper justifications. All part of a question should be
answered in one place. Separate page(s) should be used for rough works if required.
1. State TRUE or FALSE for each of the following questions and justify your answer.
(a) (3 points) The following function is continuous at (0, 0).
( 3
x y
(x 2 +y 2 )2 , if (x, y) 6= (0, 0)
f (x, y) =
0, otherwise.
(b) (3 points) Let f : R2 → R be a function such that the directional derivative Du f (0, 0)
exists along every direction u. Then f is differentiable at (0, 0).
(c) (3 points) Let F : R2 → R2 be defined by
F (x, y) = x2 − y 2 , 2xy .

√
Du f (0, 0) = 12 and Dv f (0, 0) = −4 2,
then find the equation of the tangent plane at (0, 0) to the surface z = f (x, y).
4. (5 points) Use Lagrange multiplier method to determine the maximum value of the function
f : R2 → R defined by
f (x, y) = 4xy
subject to the constraint x2 + y 2 = 1.
