Explanation Given: The plane x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = 3 Concept Used: Gradient of a function f ( x , y , z ) at a point P ( x 0 , y 0 , z 0 ) is: ∇ f = f x ( x 0 , y 0 , z 0 ) i + f y ( x 0 , y 0 , z 0 ) j + f z ( x 0 , y 0 , z 0 ) k The standard equation of tangent plane to a surface S with equation f ( x , y , z ) = C at point P ( x 0 , y 0 , z 0 ) is f x ( x 0 , y 0 , z 0 ) ( x − x 0 ) + f y ( x 0 , y 0 , z 0 ) ( y − y 0 ) + f z ( x 0 , y 0 , z 0 ) ( z − z 0 ) = 0 Calculation: To find a unit vector, normal to the surface x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = 3 at ( 1 , − 1 , 1 ) First, let f ( x , y , z ) = x 2 + y 2 + z 2 Now, find the gradient vector of this function at the point ( 1 , − 1 , 1 ) , since gradient vector at any point is perpendicular to the surface at that point. Gradient of a function f ( x , y , z ) is ∇ f = f x ( x 0 , y 0 , z 0 ) i + f y ( x 0 , y 0 , z 0 ) j + f z ( x 0 , y 0 , z 0 ) k Thus, first find f x ( 1 , − 1 , 1 ) , f y ( 1 , − 1 , 1 ) , and f z ( 1 , − 1 , 1 ) as f x ( x , y , z ) = ∂ ∂ x ( x 2 + y 2 + z 2 ) = 2 x , f y ( x , y , z ) = ∂ ∂ y ( x 2 + y 2 + z 2 ) = 2 y and f z ( x , y , z ) = ∂ ∂ z ( x 2 + y 2 + z 2 ) = 2 z Thus, f x ( 1 , − 1 , 1 ) = 2 ( 1 ) = 2 , f y ( 1 ,
