Compute the gradient of f at (2, 1).

\nabla f(x,y) = \langle 2x, 3y^2 \rangle \implies \nabla f(2, 1) = \langle 4, 3 \rangle

Then the tangent plane to f(x,y) at (2, 1) has equation

T(x,y) = f(2, 1) + \nabla f(2,1) \cdot \langle x-2, y-1\rangle = \boxed{4x + 3y - 6}

Answer:

all values! x ∈ R

Step-by-step explanation:

The derivative f'(x) = 6x²-6x+12 is a parabola opening upward, with its (positive!) minimum at (0.5, 11.5). If the derivative is always positive, the function must be increasing everywhere!

It is difficult to override a presidential veto?Why do you think is it difficult? Do you think thisgood thing? Why or why not?
Vanyuwa [196]
It is difficult to overthrow a presidential veto because each house has to have a two-thirds majority vote to overthrow The veto. it is difficult because 2/3 is more than 1/2 and it has to be in each house so it is very difficult. I think this is a good thing because if Congress wanted to pass a bill the president did not like then it is hard for them to pass it and the president is the leader so he should make the big decisions.
