Studying for exam 2

Here is a list of topics you need to study for exam 2 (based on suggested HW problems). Next to each topic are some problems from old exams. Note some old exams have integrals on them (15.1, 15.2) note on our version of Exam 2.


14.1: domains and ranges.
level curves.


14.2: Limits.


14.4: tangent planes (now part of 14.6).
linear approximations S07 #1e, 1f, F08 #1e,1f, S08 #2a


14.5 Chain rule (the "tree" technique). 3 types of problems:
Algebraic exmaples F08 #3a, S08 #8b
Numerical examples
Combination of numerical and algebraic examples: F06 #1a, S07 #2a, F08 #3a, F07 #4
Implicit differentiation: S08 #1b

14.6: directional derivatives F06 #1b, S07 #1g, F08#1c, F08 #2a, S08 #3a,b,c (hard).
Gradient vector as steepest ascent F08 #2b, #2c, F07 #2a,b
Tangent planes and normal lines (easier) F08 #4a, #4b, S08 #1c, F07 #5a
Tangent planes and normal lines (harder word problems) S07 #2b, F07 #5b


14.7: Absolute max/min F08 #6
Classify critical points (2nd deriv test) S07 #3, F06 #3, F08 #5, S08 #4, F07 #1


14.8: Lagrange multiplier F06 #4, S07 #4, S08 #5
