Magikarp is sitting at the point (2,3) on a mountain range whose elevation (in km) is given by f(x,y) = 3 + x³y - xy² where xy are oriented to the standard NESW map directions. a.) What direction should Magikarp go to proceed uphill the fastest? (Your answer should be a vector.) b.) What direction should Magikarp go to proceed downhill the fastest? (Your answer should be a vector.) c.) If Magikarp travels due southwest, how steep will his path be? Will he be going uphill or downhill?
