The tangent to
through (1, 1, 1) must be perpendicular to the normal vectors to the surfaces
and
at that point.
Let
. Then
is the level curve
. Recall that the gradient vector is perpendicular to level curves; we have

so that the gradient of
at (1, 1, 1) is

For the surface
, we have

so that
. We can obtain a vector normal to
by taking the cross product of the partial derivatives of
, and evaluating that product for
:


Now take the cross product of the two normal vectors to
and
:

The direction of vector (24, 8, -8) is the direction of the tangent line to
at (1, 1, 1). We can capture all points on the line containing this vector by scaling it by
. Then adding (1, 1, 1) shifts this line to the point of tangency on
. So the tangent line has equation

Answer:
if you have y= 2x, y is in terms of x and you can input different values of x to obtain corresponding values outputs of y.
All the terms are like terms. When combined, their sum is zero (0).
<h3><em><u>The equation to find the number of hours for which the total cost will be the same for the two services is:</u></em></h3><h3>12 + 5h = 18 + 3h</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "h" be the number of hours
Given that,
<em><u>Derrick's Dog Sitting charges $12 plus $5 per hour</u></em>
Cost : 12 + 5(number of hours )
Cost : 12 + 5h ---------- eqn 1
<em><u>Darlene's Dog Sitting charges $18 plus $3 per hour</u></em>
Cost: 18 + 3(number of hours)
Cost: 18 + 3h ---------- eqn 1
<em><u>For eqn 1 = eqn 2, the number of hours for the total cost will be the same for the two services</u></em>
Therefore,
12 + 5h = 18 + 3h
Thus option A is correct
