Question

(1 point The temperature at a point (x.y,z) is given by T(x, y, z) = 200e-z?/4-22/9 measured in degrees celsius and x,y, and z in meters. There are lots of places to make silly errors in this problem; just try to keep track of what needs to be a unit vector. , where T is Find the rate of change of the temperature at the point (1,1, -1) in the direction toward the point (2, -4, -4). In which direction (unit vector) does the temperature increase the fastest at (1, 1, -1)? What is the maximum rate of increase of T at (1,1, -1)?

Explanation / Answer

given T(x,y,z) =200ex2y2/4z2/9

gradient ,T=<200(-2x)ex2y2/4z2/9,200(-2y/4)ex2y2/4z2/9,200(-2z/9)ex2y2/4z2/9>

|T|=200ex2y2/4z2/9 [(-2x)2+(-2y/4)2+(-2z/9)2]

at (1,1,-1)

T=<-400e49/36,-100e49/36,(400/9)e49/36>

|T|=200e49/36[4+(1/4)+(4/81)]=(100/9)(1393)e49/36=(1001393)/(9e49/36)=106.32

a)

v=(2,-4,-4)-(1,1,-1) =<1,-5,-3>

|v|=[12+(-5)2+(-3)2] =35

rate of change of temperature at (1,1.-1) toward point (2,-4,-4) is=T.v/|v|

=<-400e49/36,-100e49/36,(400/9)e49/36>.<1,-5,-3>/35

=[-400+500+(-1200/9)]e49/36/35

=-(100/(335))e49/36

(b)

increasing fastest in direction T/|T|

=<-400e49/36,-100e49/36,(400/9)e49/36>/((100/9)(1393)e49/36)

=<-(36/1393),-(9/1393),(4/1393)>

(c)

maximum rate of increase =|T|=(1001393)/(9e49/36)=106.32
