Partial Derivative
Question: Let C be the trace of the paraboloid [tex]z=9-x^2-y^2[/tex] on the plane [tex]x=1[/tex]. Find parametric equations of the tangent line L to C at the point P(1,2,4).
What I did: [tex]z=8-y^2, x=1[/tex] [tex]f_{y}=-2y[/tex] [tex]f_{y}(1,2)=-4[/tex] So the parametric equations of L are: [tex] x=1 [/tex] [tex] y=2+t [/tex] [tex] z=4-4t [/tex] Am I doing this correct? Thanks. |
