Explanation Given information: f ( x , y ) = x 2 / ( y 2 + 1 ) Calculation: Consider, f ( x , y ) = x 2 / ( y 2 + 1 ) So, f ( x , y ) at ( 4 , 1 ) f ( 4 , 1 ) = ( 4 ) 2 / ( 1 2 + 1 ) = 16 2 = 8 ... ( 1 ) Differentiating f ( x , y ) with respect to x we get, ∂ f ∂ x = ∂ ∂ x x 2 / ( y 2 + 1 ) ⇒ ∂ f ∂ x = 1 ( y 2 + 1 ) ∂ ∂ x x 2 ⇒ ∂ f ∂ x = 1 ( y 2 + 1 ) ( 2 x ) ⇒ ∂ f ∂ x = 2 x y 2 + 1 So, f x ( x , y ) = 2 x y 2 + 1 Hence f x ( x , y ) at ( 4 , 1 ) f x ( 4 , 1 ) = 2 ( 4 ) ( 1 ) 2 + 1 = 8 2 = 4 ... ( 2 ) Differentiating f ( x , y ) with respect to y we get, ∂ f ∂ y = ∂ ∂ y x 2 / ( y 2 + 1 ) ⇒ ∂ f ∂ y = x 2 ∂ ∂ y 1 ( y 2 + 1 ) = x 2 ∂ ∂ y ( y 2 + 1 ) − 1

The wave heights h in the open sea depend on the speed v of the wind and the length of time t that the wind has been blowing at that speed. Values of the function h=f(v,t), are recorded in feet in the following table. Use the table to find a linear approximation to the wave height function when v is near x knots and t is near 20 hours. Then estimate the wave heights when the wind has been blowing for 24 hours at y knots where x and y values given by above table.
