Had this question on a test today, Find the shortest distance from the origin to the surface
xyz2=2
I figured out by intuition that the shortest line between the origin to the surface will also be normal to the surface.
I haven't done much of these functions in 3 variables, I read somewhere that the gradient at the point on the surface will denote the normal line.
