QUESTION 1
the chain rule so this is TRUE.

Multiple Answer 16 pts 1.3 Tangent Plane Approx
1.1 Directional Derivative Possibilities 2 / - 0 pts Correct! Plugging $$(3/4,2)$$ into the

4 tangent plane gives the approximation

- 0 pts Correct! Since $$||\vec{\nabla}f||=5$$ $$f(3/4,2)=\ln(3/2)\approx 1/2$$.

the max directional derivative is 5 and the min is ✓ - 4 pts Incorrect. Plugging $$(3/4,2)$$ into the

-5. tangent plane gives the approximation

✓ - 1 pts (Chose -10) Since $$||\vec{\nabla}f||=5$$ $$f(3/4,2)=\ln(3/2)\approx 1/2$$.

the max directional derivative is 5 and the min is -5,
