1. While descending Mt. Everest you are caught in a sudden snowstorm. Unable to see more than a few feet in front of you, you determine through careful observation that if you travel three meters northwest you climb 1/2 meter, and if for every two meters you travel northeast you descend 1/4 meter.
1. In which direction should you start for fastest descent?
2. If you travel in this direction at two meters per second, what will be your rate of descend?
3. Derive an expression for your rate of descent as a function of the direction traveled and the speed in that direction.
4. In what direction should you go in order not to go up or down?I am having trouble in forming the functions.Kindly help
