MATH 203 Final Exam


December 18, 2008

Instructions: Complete every question in Part I (Questions 1-7.) Complete three of


the five questions in Part II (Questions 8-12). Each question is worth 10 points.
No calculators or other electronic
√ devices may be used during the examination. Answers
may be left in terms of 7, sin(3) , π etc. Proctors will confiscate any devices observed
in the examination room. Give reasons for all answers. This exam will last 2 hours and
15 minutes. Good luck!
PART I: Answer all parts of Questions 1-7. Each question is worth 10 points

1. (a) Parameterize the line that passes through the point (4, 0, −3) which is parallel
to the intersection of the plane 2x − y + z = 2 and the plane x − 3z = 4
(b) Find an equation of the plane perpendicular to the planes 2x − y + z = 2 and
x − 3z = 4 that passes through (4, −2, 3) .

2. Let f (x, y, z) = x2 y + y 2 z.

(a) Evaluate ∇f .

(2, −1, 3) in the direction ~v .
