How to solve this question
4. The height of a hill is given by z = 100 – x² – 3y? – 2y. Assume that the positive r-axis points east and that
the positive y-axis points north, and that distances along all axes are measured in feet. A hiker is standing on
the hill at the point (2, 1, 91).
(a) What is the hiker's maximum rate of ascent if he moves away from (2, 1, 91) in the direction of steepest
ascent? Show all your work!
(b) If the hiker moves away from (2, 1, 91) in a straight northeasterly direction, is he ascending or
descending? At what rate?
