Question
A tiny ant walks on a stovetop. The temperature T(r, y) in °C of the stovetop at the
position z cm east and y cm north from the corner of the stove is given by
T(1, y) = 50 + y – (x – 5)ª
where 0 <z< 10 and 0 < y< 10.
(a) If the ant is currently standing at the location (r, y) = (6, 5) and he starts taking a few tiny steps
east, at what rate will his temperature change with respect to the distance he has travelled?

(b) If the ant is currently standing at the location (a, y) = (6,5), in which direction should he step
in order to cool doun as quickly as possible? Please state your answer as a unit vector.
(c) If the ant is standing at the location (z, y) = (6, 5) and steps in the direction you found in part
(b), at what rate would his temperature change, with respect to the distance he has travelled?
Please explain your answer.
