(a) xyz = cos(x + y + z)
(b) yz = ln(x + z)
2. Let f (x, y) = x2 + xy 3 . Find the directional derivative of f at the point
(2, 1) in the direction of the vector v = h3, 4i.
3. The temperature at a point (x, y) is given by
2 −3y 2
T (x, y) = 200e−x ,
where T is measured in ◦ C and x and y in meters.
(a) Find the rate of change of temperature at the point P (2, −1) in the
direction toward Q(3, −3).
(b) In which direction does the temperature increase fastest at P (2, −1)?
(c) Find the maximum rate of increase at P (2, −1).
4. If f (x, y) = xy, find the gradient vector Of (3, 2) and use it to find
the normal line to the level curve f (x, y) = 6 at the point (3, 2). You can
represent the normal line in terms of parametric equations.
