Question 17.80

A parametrized surface is described by a differentiable function \({\Phi}\colon\, {\mathbb R}^2\to {\mathbb R}^3\). According to Chapter 13, the derivative should give a linear approximation that yields a representation of the tangent plane. This exercise demonstrates that this is indeed the case.

• (a) Assuming \({\bf T}_u \times {\bf T}_v\neq {\bf 0}\), show that the range of the linear transformation \({\bf D}{\Phi}(u_0,v_0)\) is the plane spanned by \({\bf T}_u\) and \({\bf T}_v.\,[\)Here \({\bf T}_u\) and \({\bf T}_v\) are evaluated at \((u_0,v_0)\).]

• (b) Show that the image surface is regular at all points.

Question 17.84

Let \({\Phi}\) be a regular surface at \((u_0,\!v_0)\); that is, \({\Phi}\) is of class \(C^1\) and \({\bf T}_u\!\times\!{\bf T}_v\!\neq\! {\bf 0}\) at \((u_0,\!v_0)\).

• (a) Use the implicit function theorem (Section 3.5) to show that the image of \({\Phi}\) near \((u_0,v_0)\) is the graph of a \(C^1\) function of two variables. If the \(z\) component of \({\bf T}_u\times {\bf T}_v\) is nonzero, we can write it as \(z = f(x, y)\).
• (c) Show that the tangent plane at \({\Phi}(u_0,v_0)\) defined by the plane spanned by \({\bf T}_u\) and \({\bf T}_v\) coincides with the tangent plane of the graph of \(z = f(x, y)\) at this point.
