the-temperature-at-a-point-x-y-z-is-given-by-t-x-y-z-100-e-x-2-5-y-2-7-z-2-pa217
(Solved):
The temperature at a point \( (x, y, z) \) is given by \[ T(x, y, z)=100 e^{-x^{2}-5 y^{2}-7 z^{2} ...
The temperature at a point \( (x, y, z) \) is given by \[ T(x, y, z)=100 e^{-x^{2}-5 y^{2}-7 z^{2}} \] where \( T \) is measured in \( { }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) and \( x, y, z \) in meters. (a) Find the rate of change of temperature (in \( \left.{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} / \mathrm{m}\right) \) at the point \( P(4,-1,2) \) in the direction toward the point \( (6,-2,3) \). \[ { }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} / \mathrm{m} \] (b) In which direction does the temperature increase fastest at \( P \) ? (c) Find the maximum rate of increase at \( P \).
