1. Evaluate the following limits and improper integrals, or write ``DNE'' if the limit does not exist. EXPLAIN YOUR REASONING.
, which diverges as

2. Indicate which of these series converge absolutely, which converge conditionally, and which diverge. EXPLAIN YOUR REASONING.
a) 
This is an alternating series that converges. However,

6. a) The width of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 0.2 meters/second, while the height is increasing at a rate of 1 meter/second. At what rate is the area increasing when the height is 10 meters and the width is 0.5 meters?

direction (2,2,1). The temperature as a function of position is 
. At what rate is the temperature changing when the bird passes the point

Velocity is a multiple of (2,2,1), so v=k(2,2,1) for some

8. Consider the function of two variables: 
.
a) Find all critical points of this function.

critical point.
b) Use the second derivative test to determine which critical points are local maxima, which are local minima, and which are saddle points.

9. Find the maximum and minimum values of the function

, (-1, 0, 0, 1), 
, 
, 
, and 
. The first two have f=1, the next two have f=2, and the
last two have f=-2, so the last two are minima, the middle two are
