The temperature at a point (x,y,z) is given by
T(x,y,z)=200e−x2−y2/4−z2/9, where Tis measured in degrees celcius
and x,y, and z in meters. There are lots of places to make silly
errors in this problem; just try to keep track of what needs to be
a unit vector.
Find the rate of change of the temperature at the point (0, 1, -2)
in the direction toward the point (-1, -2, 5).
In which direction (unit vector) does the temperature increase the
fastest at (0, 1, -2)?
〈 , , 〉 What is the maximum rate of increase of T at (0,
1, -2)?
