7. Sketch the level curve of f ( x, y) = y x2

that goes through the point p = (1, 2). Calculate the gradient vector grad( f ) at p and draw this vector, placing its initial point at p. What should be true about grad( f ) at the point p? 8. The temperature at ( x, y, z) of a solid sphere centered at the origin is given by 200 T ( x, y, z) = 2 5 + x + y2 + z2 (a) By inspection, decide where the solid sphere is hottest. (b) Find a vector pointing in the direction of greatest increase of temperature at (1, 1, 1). (c) Does the vector of part (b) point toward the origin? 9. The elevation of a mountain above sea level at the point ( x, y) is f ( x, y). A mountain climber at the specic point p notes that the slope in the easterly direction is 1/2 and the slope in the northerly direction is 1/4. In what direction should he move for fastest descent? 10. Find the directional derivative of f ( x, y, z) = xy + z2 at (1, 1, 1) in the direction towards (5, 3, 3).
