person is walking with velocity given by the vector v = (3,4), where time
is measured in seconds. Note that the person's speed is thus |v|= 5 feet
per second. Find parametric equations for the person's path; that is,
parametrize the line through (2, 1) using the direction vector v= (3, 4).
Let r(t) denote the z-coordinate of the line, and y(t) its y-coordinate.

Expert Solution
Step 1

A graph of contour plot is given as f(x, y)=30-x2-12y2.

The parametric equations obtained in part (c) as 

x(t)=2+3ty(t)=1+4t

The aim is to find the derivative dfdtt=0 using chain rule.

Let x(t) and y(t) are differentiable functions in tf(x, y) is a differentiable function in x and y. Then fx(t), y(t) is a differentiable function in t and the chain rule of derivative states that dfdt=fx·dxdt+fy·dydt.
