Problem 1. (15 points) This problem is about the function
f (x, y, z) = 3zy + 4x cos(z).
(a) What is the rate of change of the function of f at (1, 1, 0) in the direction from this point to
the origin?
(b) Give an approximate value of f (0.9, 1.2, 0.11).

(c) Recall that f (x, y, z) = 3zy + 4x cos(z).
The equation f (x, y, z) = 4 implicitly defines z as a function of (x, y), if we agree that z = 0 if
(x, y) = (1, 1).

Problem 3. (25 points) No partial credit. Evaluate each integral below. R > 0 and a > 0 are
constants. Note: If you correctly understand the domains and/or the symmetries of the functions,
many of the integrations become immediate. CIRCLE your answers.
