Assume that there is a bowl-shaped valley in the southwestern
corner of Lincoln County, Minnesota. Let x = the distance moving
east from the southwest corner. Let y = the distance moving north
from the southwest corner. Then the altitude (A) in the valley is
described by the equation: A = f(x,y) = 1000 + 4x2 - 4xy + 2y2 - 8x
- 4y
Highway 14 runs due east/west through the county (horizontal
line) at y = 6 (i.e. 6...
