3) Consider the parametrized curve CC given by

x(t)=tcost, y(t)=tsint.x(t)=t\cos t,\;y(t)=t\sin t.

a) Find the gradient of CC at (x(t),y(t))(x(t),y(t)).

4) Let f(x,y)f(x,y) be a continuous function defined for all real values of xx and yy. Which of the following statements is true, and which is false? Justify your answers.

a) cdabf(x,y)dxdy=cdabf(x,y)dydx\int_{c}^{d}\int_{a}^{b}f(x,y)\,dx\,dy=\int_{c}^{d}\int_{a}^{b}f(x,y)\,dy\,dx for any a,b,c,da,b,c,d\in{\mathbb{R}} with aba\leq b, cdc\leq d.

b) If 2fx2=1\frac{\partial^{2}f}{\partial x^{2}}=1, 2fxy=2\frac{\partial^{2}f}{\partial x\partial y}=2 and 2fy2=1\frac{\partial^{2}f}{\partial y^{2}}=1 then f(x,y)f(x,y) has no local maxima or minima.

c) The curve CC defined by f(x,y)=0f(x,y)=0 has gradient dydx=(f/y)P(f/x)P\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{(\partial f/\partial y)_{P}}{(\partial f/\partial x)_{P}} at a point PP on CC.
