Abridged answers 1) minimum of 9 at (0, 0, 3) 2) 54*pi 3) 6 4) x = y = z = (V_0)^(1/3) 5) df/dx = (\sqrt(y) + 1) / (2*(1+y*x^2+x*y^2 - 2*x^(3/2)*y^(3/2))*sqrt(x)) df/dy = (\sqrt(x) - 1) / (2*(1+y*x^2+x*y^2 - 2*x^(3/2)*y^(3/2))*sqrt(y)) 6) x = y = z = S_0 / 12 7) x + y - 6z = -2 8) maximum of 3 at (1,2) minimum of -12/5 at (8/5,-2/5) 9) (2/3, 3/2) 10) (24x^2, -18y) 11) (integral from 0 to 2) (integral from 0 to cosx) f(x,y) dy dx 12) 2*pi*ln(3/2) 13) max of 27*4 / 5^(5/2) at (\sqrt{2/5), \sqrt(3/5)) min of -27*4 / 5^(5/2) at (-\sqrt{2/5), \sqrt(3/5)) 14) 0 15) More or less unsolvable...sorry about that. You get a 4th order polynomial to solve for y (or x). 16) I_x = 1024 / 9 I_y = 128/6 - 128/14 I_z = I_x + I_y 17) 1/12
