2. (15 pt) Find the equation for the plane tangent to the paraboloid z = 2x2 + 3y 2 that is also
parallel to the plane 4x − 3y − z = 10
2. (15 pt) Find the equation for the plane tangent to the paraboloid z = 2x2 + 3y 2 that is also
parallel to the plane 4x − 3y − z = 10
Write G(x, y, z) = 2x2 + 3y 2 − z, so ∇G(x, y, z) = h4x, 6y, −1i. This tells us that h4x, 6y, −1i
is a normal vector for the tangent plane to our surface at the point (x, y, z). For the tangent
plane at a point to be parallel to 4x − 3y − z = 10, we need h4x, 6y, −1i to be parallel to
h4, −3, −1i. This will certainly happen when x = 1 and y = − 21 . Solving for z in the equation
for our surface, we get that the tangent plane at (1, − 12 , 11

) is parallel to 4x − 3y − z = 10. At
this point the equation for the tangent plane will be given by 4(x − 1) − 3(y + 21 ) − (z − 114
) = 0.
