Midterm1
Dear CHE221 Students,
Please find the answer key for Midterm 1 in the exam material module on Quercus.
Here I am including a summary of common issues observed by graders for each
problem. Reviewing these points can help clarify your understanding and prepare
you for future assessments.
Problem 1 (Level Curves of a Falling Drop) Common Issues: Some students
approached this as a physics problem, discussing thermophysical properties like
temperature and viscosity. Remember, the primary focus here is on contour maps;
pay attention to whether numbers are equally spaced. Additionally, review the
contour map for a perfect sphere to reinforce the concept.
Problem 2 (Domain and Range of a Function) Common Issues: Standard notation
for illustrating domain and range needs careful attention. When analyzing the range
of a fractional function, examine both the numerator and denominator and include
all aspects of the domain, like exclusions and holes.
Problem 3 (Level Curves, Gradient, and Tangent Line for a Quadratic Function)
Common Issues: When working with a quadratic form, always consider completing
the square to identify the shape, like a circle or parabola. Remember, a tangent line
is different from a tangent plane, so choose the correct formula. The gradient
vector is always normal to a curve, which is crucial when setting up tangent lines.
Problem 4 (Continuity and Momentum PDEs) Common Issues: The main issue here
was applying the chain rule correctly for second derivatives. Review chain rule
applications to avoid errors in future assessments.
Problem 5 (Tangent Plane to Ellipsoid) Common Issues: Understand that if the dot

product between two vectors is zero, they are perpendicular, and if they are
proportional, they are parallel. Also, be sure to answer what the question
specifically asks (e.g., identifying the coordinates of points).
Problem 6 (Terminal Velocity and Error Propagation) Common Issues: Relative error
is calculated as absolute error divided by the parameter value. If values are not
explicitly provided, it often means they will cancel out in calculations. For maximum
error, remember to take absolute values before adding.
Problem 7 (Second Order Chain Rule) Common Issues: Be sure to review Clairaut’s
theorem and understand the expansion of second-order derivatives. Correct
application here is key to solving such problems accurately.
Also, please pay attention to the specific feedback provided for each of you.

yes, but need to explain

numerator >=0, but de-
nom can be +ve or -ve,
therefore output is any
real number, and range
