Instructions: Use non-erasable ink. Write the answers where indicated and give clear evidence of your reasoning (or points will be taken off). You may attach extra sheets with your work if it is organized enough to be helpful. Graphs should be clearly labeled. Symbolic and graphing calculators are not permitted. On the other hand, an answer like \pi is actually preferable to an answer like 3.141592653589793238462643, so you do not really need a calculator at all.

2 (5 points). A cylindrical can of volume 20 cm^3 is to be constructed. Material for the top and bottom costs $0.01/cm^2, and for the side $0.005/cm^2. What dimensions R=radius and H=height should the can have to minimize the cost?

3. (5 points - Dang if this doesn't look a lot like homework problem 21!) Find the minimum value of x^3 + y^3 + z^3 for (x,y,z) on the intersection of the planes x + y + z = 2 and x - y + z = 3.
The place(s) where the minimum occurs is (are): _____________________

4. (5 points) NOTE: The point of this problem is to see if you understand Newton's method. The exact solution of the system is (x,y) = (3,2) or (2,3). Now that we all know the exact answer, you will get 0 points for writing it down!
Suppose
f(x,y) := x + y - 5 = 0 and
g(x,y) := (x - y)^2 - 1 = 0.
Take as your initial guess (x_0,y_0) = (1,-1) and use Newton's method to produce a better guess (x_1,y_1)
The explicit* formula for the improved guess (x_{n+1},y_{n+1}) given (x_n,y_n) is:
x_{n+1} = _________________________________________________
y_{n+1} = _________________________________________________
With (x_0,y_0) = (1,1),
x_1 = _________________________________________________
y_1 = _________________________________________________
