![**Consider the function \( f(x, y) = (e^x - 4x) \cos(y) \). Suppose \( S \) is the surface \( z = f(x, y) \).**
### (a) Find a vector which is perpendicular to the level curve of \( f \) through the point \( (2,3) \) in the direction in which \( f \) decreases most rapidly.
**Solution:**
The vector perpendicular to the level curve of \( f \) through the point \( (2,3) \) is given by the gradient of \( f \) evaluated at \( (2,3) \). It is in the direction in which \( f \) decreases most rapidly.
\[
\text{vector} = -(e^2 - 4) \cos(3) \mathbf{i} - ( e^2 - 12) \sin (3) \mathbf{j}
\]
### (b) Suppose \( \vec{v} = 2\mathbf{i} + 3\mathbf{j} + a\mathbf{k} \) is a vector in 3-space which is tangent to the surface \( S \) at the point \( P \) lying on the surface above \( (2,3) \). What is \( a \)?
**Solution:**
We need to find the value of \( a \) such that the vector \( \vec{v} = 2\mathbf{i} + 3\mathbf{j} + a\mathbf{k} \) is tangent to the surface \( S \) at the point above \( (2,3) \).
\[
a = 2( e^2 - 4) \cos(3) - 3( e^2 - 12)\sin (3)
