  1. Let f(x,y) = (y x)2.

    1. [2 points] Draw a contour map of f showing level curves for levels 0, 1, and 2.
        auto
    2. [2 points] Compute ∂𝑓 ∂𝑥 and ∂𝑓 ∂𝑦.
       
  2. [3 points] Use the linear approximation for g(x,y) = exy22 at (2,1) to estimate g(2.1,0.8).
  3. [3 points] An cylindrical container with tall sides has a circular base with adjustable radius. A fixed amount of liquid is poured into the cylinder. The radius of the cylinder increases at a rate of 2 centimeters per minute. Find the rate of change in the liquid’s height when the cylinder has a radius of 10 centimeters and the liquid’s height is 7 cm.
