Question: (a) Let f(x, y) = x 2 +y 2 . Estimate f x (2, 1) and f y (2, 1) using the contour diagram for
(a) Let f(x, y) = x2+y2. Estimate fx(2, 1) and fy(2, 1) using the contour diagram for f in Figure 8.52.
(b) Estimate fx(2, 1) and fy(2, 1) from a table of valuesfor f with x = 1.9, 2, 2.1 and y = 0.9, 1, 1.1.
(c) Compare your estimates in parts (a) and (b) with the exact values of fx(2, 1) and fy(2, 1) found algebraically.
