Identify and briefly describe the surfaces defined by the following equations. $$y=4 z^{2}-x^{2}$$
Given a differentiable function \(w=f(x, y, z),\) the goal is to find its maximum and minimum values subject to the constraints \(g(x, y, z)=0\) and \(h(x, y, z)=0\) where \(g\) and \(h\) are also differentiable. a. Imagine a level surface of the function \(f\) and the constraint surfaces \(g(x, y, z)=0\) and \(h(x, y, z)=0 .\) Note that \(g\) and \(h\) intersect (in general) in a curve \(C\) on which maximum and minimum values of \(f\) must be found. Explain why \(\nabla g\) and \(\nabla h\) are orthogonal to their respective surfaces. b. Explain why \(\nabla f\) lies in the plane formed by \(\nabla g\) and \(\nabla h\) at a point of \(C\) where \(f\) has a maximum or minimum value. c. Explain why part (b) implies that \(\nabla f=\lambda \nabla g+\mu \nabla h\) at a point of \(C\) where \(f\) has a maximum or minimum value, where \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\) (the Lagrange multipliers) are real numbers. d. Conclude from part (c) that the equations that must be solved for maximum or minimum values of \(f\) subject to two constraints are \(\nabla f=\lambda \nabla g+\mu \nabla h, g(x, y, z)=0\) and \(h(x, y, z)=0\).
Show that the plane \(a x+b y+c z=d\) and the line \(\mathbf{r}(t)=\mathbf{r}_{0}+\mathbf{v} t,\) not in the plane, have no points of intersection if and only if \(\mathbf{v} \cdot\langle a, b, c\rangle=0 .\) Give a geometric explanation of this result.
What point on the plane \(x-y+z=2\) is closest to the point (1,1,1)\(?\)
