Answers which are illegible f or thegrader can not be given credit.• No notes, books, calculators, computers, or other elec-tronic aids can be allowed.• You have 90 minutes time to complete your work.• The hourly exam itself will have space for work on eachpage. This space is excluded here in order to save print-ing resources.1 202 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 109 10Total: 110Problem 1) TF questions (20 points) No justifications needed1)T FThe length of the sum of two vectors is always the sum of the length of thevectors.2)T FFor any three vectors, ~v × (~w + ~u) = ~w ×~v + ~u ×~v.3)T FThe set of points which satisfy x2+ 2x + y2− z2= 0 is a cone.4)T FThe functions√x + y − 1 and log(x + y − 1) have the same domain ofdefinition.5)T FIf P, Q, R are 3 different points in space that don’t lie in a line, then~P Q×~RQis a vector orthogona l to the plane containing P, Q, R.6)T FThe line ~r(t) = h1 + 2t, 1 + 3t, 1 + 4ti hits the plane 2x + 3y + 4z = 9 at aright angle.7)T FThe graph of f(x, y) = cos(xy) is a level surface of a function g(x, y, z).8)T FFor any two vectors, ~v × ~w = ~w ×~v.9)T FIf |~v × ~w| = 0 for all vectors ~w, then ~v =~0.10)T FIf ~u and ~v are orthogonal vectors, then (~u ×~v) ×~u is par allel to ~v.11)T FEvery vector contained in the line ~r(t) = h1 + 2t, 1 + 3t, 1 + 4ti is parallelto the vector h1, 1, 1i.12)T FThe curvature of the curve 2~r(4t) at t = 0 is twice the curvature of thecurve ~r(t) at t = 0.13)T FThe set of points which satisfy x2− 2y2− 3z2= 0 f orm an ellipsoid.14)T FIf ~v × ~w = (0, 0, 0), then ~v = ~w.15)T FEvery vector contained in the line ~r(t) = h1 + 2t, 1 + 3t, 1 + 4ti is parallelto the vector h1, 1, 1i.16)T FTwo nonzero vectors are parallel if and only if their cross product is~0.17)T FThe function u(x, t) = x2/2 + t satisfies the heat equation ut= uxx.18)T FAny function of three variables f(x, y, z) satisfies the partial differentialequation fxyz+ fyzx= 2fzxy.19)T FIf fx(x, y) = fy(x, y) for all x, y, then f(x, y) is a constant.20)T FThe value of the function f (x, y) = sin(−x + 2y) a t (0.001, −0.002) can bylinear approximation be estimated as −0.003.Problem 2a) (5 points)Match the contour maps with the corresponding functions f(x, y) of two variables.

Use one of the two formulas for the curvatureκ(t) =|~T′(t)||~r′(t)|=|~r′(t) ×~r′′(t)||~r′(t)|3,where~T (t) = ~r′(t)/|~r′(t)|. The curvatures in b) can be derived from the curvature in a).There is no need to redo the calculation, but we need a
