(1) Consider the function f (x, y) = (1 − x2 − y3 )e0.75x +y . Find out second degree Taylor’s
polynomial around (0, 0) and identify that (0, 0) is local minimum.
(2) Find the second order Taylor expansion of f (x, y) = ex+2y about (0, 0). Bound the error of
this approximation if |x| ≤ 0.1 and |y| ≤ 0.1. p
(3) Find the second order Taylor expansion of f (x, y) = 1 + 4x2 + y 2 about (1, 2) and use it
to compute approximately f (1.1, 2.05).
(4) Using Taylor’s formula, find quadratic and cubic approximations ex siny at origin. Estimate
the error in approximations if |x| ≤ 0.1 , |y| ≤ 0.2.
