Get started for freeFind the directional derivative of the given function at the specified point P in the direction of the given vector. Note: The given vectors may not be unit vectors.
In Exercises , use the partial derivatives of role="math" localid="1650186853142" and the point role="math" localid="1650186870407" specified to
find the equation of the line tangent to the surface defined by the function in the direction,
find the equation of the line tangent to the surface defined by the function in the direction, and
find the equation of the plane containing the lines you found in parts and.
In Exercises, by considering the function subject to the constraint you will explore a situation in which the method of Lagrange multipliers does not provide an extremum of a function.
Why does the method of Lagrange multipliers fail with this function?
Use Theorem 12.33 to find the indicated derivatives in Exercises 27–30. Express your answers as functions of two variables.
