Question: Problem 6 . ( 1 4 points ) Consider the function z = f ( x , y ) = x 2 + 6 x

Problem 6.(14 points)
Consider the function
z=f(x,y)=x2+6xy3
(a) Find f(-5,-1).
?'z=f(-5,-1)=
(b) Find a function g(x,y,z) whose level zero set is
equal to the graph ofz=f(x,y) and such that the
coefficient ofzing(x,y,z)is1.
The level set g(x,y,z)=,=0is the
same as the graph ofz=f(x,y).
(c) Find the gradient ofg. Write your answer asa
row vector of the general form (:a,b,c:).
gradg(x,y,z)=
(d) Use gradg to find a vector vec(n) perpendicular (or normal)
to the graph ofz=f(x,y)at the point (-5,-1,55).
Write your answer as a row vector of the general form
(:a,b,c:).
vec(n)=
(e) Find an equation for the tangent plane toz=f(x,y)
at the point (-5,-1,55). Enter your answer asan equa-
tion.
