Hello,
I am confused with a problem, stated as such:
The curve of a hill is defined as z=1000-0.005x^2 - 0.01y^2 and standing at P=(60, 40, 966) with x axis pointing east and y axis north.
If you walk south, will you ascend or descend? How quickly?
What direction is the maximum rate of change? |

What does the gradient look like at P? |
