1. The coordinate (𝑥̅ , 𝑦̅) of the center of mass of a lamina occupying the region 𝐷 and
having density function 𝜌(𝑥, 𝑦) are
𝑀𝑦 1 𝑀𝑥 1
𝑥̅ = = ∬𝐷 𝑥 𝜌(𝑥, 𝑦)𝑑𝐴 𝑦̅ = = ∬𝐷 𝑦 𝜌(𝑥, 𝑦)𝑑𝐴
𝑚 𝑚 𝑚 𝑚
where the mass 𝑚 is given by
𝑚 = ∬ 𝜌(𝑥, 𝑦) 𝑑𝐴
𝐷
Find the mass and center of mass of the lamina that occupies the region
𝐷 = {(𝑥, 𝑦): 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 2, −1 ≤ 𝑦 ≤ 1} and has density of 𝜌(𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑥𝑦 2
2. A Chinese multinational technology manufacturer, Lenovo laptops, has developed a
profit model that depends on the number 𝑥 of Lenovo laptops sold per month (measured
in thousands), and the number of hours per month of advertising 𝑦, according to the
function: 𝑧 = 48𝑥 + 96𝑦 − 𝑥 2 − 2𝑥𝑦 − 9𝑦 2 , where 𝑧 is measured in thousands of
dollars. The budgetary constraint function relating the cost of the production of thousands
Lenovo laptops and advertising units is given by 20𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 216. Find the values of
𝑥 and 𝑦 those maximize profit, and find the maximum profit.
3. ∬(𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 )𝑑𝑥𝑑𝑦 throughout the area enclosed by the curves 𝑦 = 4𝑥, 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 3,
𝑦 = 0 and 𝑦 = 2.
4. Find the volume of the largest rectangular parallelepiped that can be inscribed in the ellipsoid
