Problem 2
Use Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum value of the function
f (x, y, z) = x − y + z
on the sphere (x − 1)2 + (y − 2)2 + (z − 1)2 = 4.

Let g(x, y, z) = (x − 1)2 + (y − 2)2 + (z − 1)2 − 4. Then the method of Lagrange multipliers
~ = λ∇g.
~ Because ∇f
~ = h1, −1, 1i
says that a maximum can only occur at a point where ∇f
~
and ∇g = h2(x − 1), 2(y − 2), 2(z − 1)i, we need to solve
1 = 2λ(x − 1)
−1 = 2λ(y − 2)
1 = 2λ(z − 1)
4 = (x − 1)2 + (y − 2)2 + (z − 1)2 .
The first three equations tell us that x − 1 = −(y − 2) = z − 1. By the last equation,
3(x − 1)2 = 4, or x − 1 = ± √23 . Because y = 3 − x and z = x, the value of f is
f (x, y, z) = x − y + z = x − (3 − x) + x = 3 x − 1 .
The maximum value is therefore attained when x − 1 =

This is about the surface area of a graph, so we can use formula 6 on page 870 of our
calculus book. We need the partial derivatives of z:

∂y
The function we need to integrate, is

p
1 + (−2x)2 + (−2y)2 = 1 + 4(x2 + y 2 ).
Then we need to find the domain: since z = 1 − x2 − y 2 ≥ 0, we get x2 + y 2 ≤ 1. So it
looks like it would be best to use polar coordinates. Now we can set up the integral,
Z 2π Z 1 √

To find the volume we will integrate the height of the solid, over the projection of the solid

height is 1 − x2 − y 2 . Everything is conveniently described using polar coordinates, so we

Compute the volume of the pyramid with a rectangular base that is bounded by the
five planes 3x + z = 12, −3x + z = 12, 3y + z = 12, −3y + z = 12 and z = 0.

For instance, the plane 3x + z = 12 intersects the xy-plane in the line x = 4 (we find this
by substituting z = 0 in the equation for the plane). We can calculate the total volume
as four times the volume of one of the tetrahedrons of which the pyramids consists, for
example the one with vertices (4, 4, 0), (4, −4, 0), (0, 0, 0) and (0, 0, 12). This one is in fact
the solid between D and the plane 3x + z = 12, where D is the triangle in the xy-plane
with vertices (4, 4), (4, −4) and (0, 0). This region D is a Type I region, so we can set up
the integral to compute the volume:

E) r = θ sin(2θ)
F) r = 2 + sin(2θ)
G) r = sin(θ) − 1
H) r = θ
There are several ways to solve this problem. We will provide you with two of them:
1. The point (x, y) = (0, 1) is on the circle. In polar coordinates this point can be
written (r, θ) = (1, π2 ) or (r, θ) = (−1, 3π
). The equation in answer C) is the only
2
one which this point satisfies.

2. The circle in the picture has center (− 2 , 2 ) and radius 2 2 = 12 . So the equation
in terms of x and y is
(x + 21 )2 + (y − 12 )2 = 21 .
Rewriting to polar coordinates yields
(x + 12 )2 + (y − 12 )2 =

The expression ”x2 + y 2 ” appears twice in this problem, so it would probably be best to
use polar coordinates. First of all, let’s rewrite the equation of the circle:
x2 + y 2 = 2x
x2 − 2x + 1 + y 2 = 1
⇔
(x − 1)2 + y 2 = 1.

On the positive y-axis (where x = 0), the arrows are vertical and pointing in the negative
y-direction. This leaves C) as the correct answer.

b) To find the volume, we need to integrate the height of the cone over the projection

Alternatively, we could have seen that in a), we calculated the volume of the given
cylinder cut off at height 0 and height 3, with everything under the cone removed.
Since the volume of the cylinder is V = π · h · r2 = π · 3 · 32 = 27π, the volume under
the cone is 27π − 9π = 18π.
