Thank you for your help ahead of time! I appreciate it.
You are standing at the point (1, 1, 3) on a hill z = 5y - x2 - y2. If you climb in the direction of steepest ascent, what is the rate of ascent? Give both an estimate and exact answer. The verification here is your discussion of the comparison of those two results. Complete this picture using your exact numbers from above. Every blank should have a word and a number, (no verification necessary for this step) If you want to maintain altitude, in what direction should you go? Why? (Remember to verify.) If you decide to go northwest, will you be ascending or descending? Why? (Remember to verify.)
