Basic Math

Let F(x, y, z)=2xy^2 +2yz^2 +2x^2z.

(a) Find the directional derivative of F at the point (−2, 1,−1) in the direction parallel to the line x = 3 + 4t, y = 2 − t, z= 3t.

Answer: 58/√26

(b) Determine symmetric equations for the normal line to thelevel surface F(x, y, z)= −2 at the point (−1, 2, 1).

Answer: x = −1 + 4t, y = 2 − 6t, z = 1 + 10t
