MA102 Tutorial 5 PDF

1. This document contains 17 multi-part math problems related to calculus topics like partial derivatives, directional derivatives, and Taylor series approximations. 2. The problems involve functions of two or three variables and calculating derivatives, gradients, Jacobian matrices, tangent planes, and normal lines for surfaces. 3. Several problems ask to find approximations of functions using Taylor's formula and to determine the accuracy of these approximations within given ranges.
