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

The temperature at a point (x,y) on a rectangular metal plate is given by
T(x,y)=100/(5x^2+ y^2)
(a)Find the rate of change of T at the point (6,7) in the direction of the vector (3,4)
(b)At the point (6,7), find a unit vector in the direction in which the temperature increases the fastest.
(c)What is the maximum rate of change of T at the point (6,7)?
