1. Let $f(x, y) = \cos(1 + xy^2)$
(a) (4 pts) Compute $f_y$.

(b) (6 pts) Compute $f_{yx}$.

(a) (8 pts) Find all critical points of $f(x, y)$.

(b) (7 pts) Decide whether each critical point found in (a) is a relative minimum, relative maximum, saddle point or indeterminable.

3. Write the $n$-th term in the following sequences:
(a) (2 pts) $-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{4}{3}, -\frac{9}{4}, \frac{16}{5}, \dots$

(b) (2 pts) $2, 2, \frac{8}{6}, \frac{16}{24}, \frac{32}{120}, \dots$

(c) (2 pts) $1, \frac{5}{8}, \frac{7}{15}, \frac{9}{24}, \frac{11}{35}, \frac{13}{48}, \dots$

4. Determine if the following sequences converge or diverge. If the sequence converges, write the limit.
(a) (3 pts) $a_n = \frac{2^n + 1}{3 \cdot 2^n}$

(b) (3 pts) $a_n = (-1)^n (\frac{1}{n^2 + 3})$

(c) (3 pts) $a_n = (-1)^n (\frac{n + 1}{n})$

(c) (6 pts) $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^2\sqrt{n}}$

6. (12 pts) Find the radius and interval of convergence for the power series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{3^{-n}}{n + 1}(x + 1)^n$

7. (10 pts) Find the sum $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{3^n 2^{n-2}}$

8. Evaluate the following double integrals. (Remember that sometimes it helps to change the order of integration).
(a) (12 pts) $\int_0^2 \int_0^\sqrt{x} y(x - y^2)^3 \; dy \; dx$

(b) (12 pts) $\int_0^4 \int_\sqrt{x}^2 x \sin(1 + y^5) \; dy \; dx$

9. Solve the following differential equations.
(a) (10 pts) $e^{x^2 - x}y' + y = 2xy$.

(b) (10 pts) $xy' - 2y = x^2 \ln(x)$ with the initial conditions that $y = 0$ when $x = 1$.
10. (15 pts) Approximate the definite integral $\int_0^1 xe^{-x^3} dx$ using a $7$th-degree Taylor polynomial for the function $xe^{-x^3}$.
11. (11 pts) Minimize the function $f(x, y, z) = x^2 + 2y^2 + 3z^2$ subject to the constraint $3x - 2y + z = \frac{34}{6}$. Find $x, y, z$ at the minimum and the minimum value of the function.
