Planes are parallel if their respective normal vectors are parallel (scalar multiples)
Planes are orthogonal if their respective normal vectors are orthogonal (dot product is zero)

Cylinders:
Think of a cylinder as an extruded spline (with surfsculpt)
If an equation is missing a variable, it is a cylinder (eg:
z = x2
in
R3 )

f (x, y) = 9 x2 y 2
D = {(x, y) R2 |x2 + y 2 9}
Ex:
R = [0, 3]
Level Curve:
Ex:
f (x, y) = c
f (x, y) =

9 x2 y 2 = c
x 2 + y 2 = 9 c2 c
Partial Derivatives:
A partial derivative ( ) simply is the computation of a derivative that is stated while the other variables are
made as constants
Ex:
z = 2x sin(y)
Higher Order:

= 2 sin(y)

A partial derivative is dierentiable if all of its (rst order) partial derivatives are continuous at a
point

Closed Set: Set of points that contains all its boundary points
Bounded Set: Set of points that is contained within some bigger nite circle
Extreme Value Theorem: If

Absolute Extrema:

x = a cos()
Note: To nd the shortest distance between two regions, you can use the distance formula. Doing partial
derivatives on it is nasty, so square both sides and then nd the critical points as usual. Then plug the

Lagrange Multipliers:
Find all

and
such that
f (x, y, z) = g(x, y, z)
usually cannot equal zero and thus can be divided (same with
x, y, z )
Note: If the boundary is given as a function with an equals sign, do not compute the critical point inside the
region. Only computer it on the boundary. If the boundary is given as an inequality, compute the critical
point inside the region as well as the points on the boundary.
