Question: The temperature at a point ( x , y ) on a flat metal plate is given by T ( x , y ) =

The temperature at a point (x, y) on a flat metal plate is given by T(x, y)=70/(3+ x2+ y2), where T is measured in C and x, y in meters. Find the rate of change of temperature with respect to distance at the point (2,3) in the x-direction and the y-direction.
(a) the x-direction
C/m
(b) the y-direction
