Question: Question 3 Starting at the point ( 0 , 2 , 0 ) , I walk up the hill z = 4 x 2 y

Question 3 Starting at the point (0,2,0), I walk up the hill z =4 x2 y2.
The projection of my path on the xy plane is the line y =2x 2.
(a) At what point on my path is my altitude (the z-value) the greatest?
(b) What is the slope m of my path (taking the z-axis to be vertical) when I
am at the point (1,0,3)?[Hint: Parametrize my path (take x to
be t).]
