Question: Week 4 Consider the surface S defined b y the implicit equation x 2 + y 2 + z 3 = 2 9 ( a

Week 4
Consider the surface S defined by the implicit equation
x2+y2+z3=29
(a) Say briefly why the point vec(a)=(1,1,3) lies on the surface S.
(b) Find a formula for the tangent plane to the level-set Sat the point vec(a), expressing your answer
in the form px+qy+rz=c. State carefully any formula you use to arrive at your answer.
Suppose that f(x,y)is a function of two variables for which we know that
delfdelx=xy2+2y, and ,delfdely=x2y+2x
Suppose now that x and y themselves vary as functions of variables s and t :
x(s,t)=s2t-2t3, and ,y(s,t)=2st-5
Let F denote f seen as a function ofs and t :
F(s,t)=f(x(s,t),y(s,t)).
Use the chain rule to calculate delFdels at(s,t)=(3,2).
