The accompanying figure shows some level curves of an unspecified function f x , y . (a) Use the available information to approximate the length of the vector ∇ f 1 , 2 , and sketch the approximation. Explain how you approximated the length and determined the direction of the vector. (b) Sketch an approximation of the vector − ∇ f 4 , 4 .

Quantities that have magnitude and direction but not position. Some examples of vectors are velocity, displacement, acceleration, and force. They are sometimes called Euclidean or spatial vectors.
Subtracting the two equations, find a vector equation for the curve of intersection between y= 4x2+(3/4)z2 and y-1= 3x2+(1/2)z2 for x>0. Find and simplify the tangential component of acceleration for your curve.
Find the maximum rate of change of f(x, y)
Maximum rate of change: 2/5
In(x? + y?) at the point (-4, -3) and the direction in which it occurs.

2. Calculate the gradient vector Vf of the function f (x, y) = x² – x + y - x²y - 2y2 at
the point (2,1) and sketch it on the attached contour plot (you can save the picture, open
in photo editor and use drawing tools).
Explain in one paragraph (about 200-300 words) the meaning of the gradient vector
Vf(2,1), negative gradient vector -Vf(2,1).
