Consider the function f(x, y) = 2x + 3y.
(a) Why is the graph of f a plane?
(b) In what direction is f increasing most rapidly at the
point (鈭1, 4)?
(c) In what direction is f increasing most rapidly at the
point (x 0, y 0)?
(d) Why are your answers to parts (b) and (c) the same?
Evaluate the following limits, or explain why the limit does not exist.
Find the gradient of the given function, and find the direction in which the function increases most rapidly at the specified point P.
Partial derivatives: Find all first- and second-order partial derivatives for the following functions:
In Exercises , use the partial derivatives of and the point specified to
find the equation of the line tangent to the surface defined by the function in the direction,
find the equation of the line tangent to the surface defined by the function in the direction, and
find the equation of the plane containing the lines you found in parts and .
