Find the rate of change of f(x, y, z) = xyz in the direction normal to the surface yx2 + xy2 + yz2 = 3 at (1, 1, 2).

Rate of change = 18/√74

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of f at x_o in the direction of the unit vector v is given by: ∇f(x_o) × v

Now, for us to get the direction of the unit vector, since we are told that f(x, y, z) = xyz in the direction normal to the surface yx² + xy² + yz² = 3, we will use; g(x, y, z) = yx² + xy² + yz² = 3 and k =3 to give;

∇g(x,y,z) = (2xy + y², (x² + 2xy + z²), 2yz)

So;

∇g(1, 1, 2) = (2(1 × 1) + 1²) , (1² + 2(1 × 1) + 2²), 2(1 × 2))

This gives;

∇g(1, 1, 2) = (3, 7, 4)

Now,

||∇g(1, 1, 2)|| = √(3² + 7² + 4²)

||∇g(1, 1, 2)|| = √74

Normal vector would be given by the formula;

v = [∇g(1, 1, 2)]/[||∇g(1, 1, 2)||]

Thus;

v = (3, 7, 4)/√74

Let's not forget that our ∇f(1, 1, 2) = (1, 1, 2)

Thus, rate of change is given by;

∇f(1, 1, 2) × v = (1, 1, 2) × (3, 7, 4)/√74

This gives;

Rate of change = [(1 × 3) + (1 × 7) + (2 × 4)]/√74 = 18/√74

answer: the dogs need to shift their focus to human scent.

its because the dogs being trained are for search and rescue thus they need to be able to track humans and their specific scent

there are no answer choices
