Step 1
Step 1: The equation of the tangent plane to the surface f(x, y, z) = 0 at the point (a, b, c) is given by: $$f_x(a, b, c)(x-a) + f_y(a, b, c)(y-b) + f_z(a, b, c)(z-c) = 0$$ Show more…

Looking ahead- tangent planes Consider the following surfaces $f(x, y, z)=0,$ which may be regarded as a level surface of the function $w=f(x, y, z) .$ A point $P(a, b, c)$ on the surface is also given. a. Find the (three-dimensional) gradient of $f$ and evaluate it at $P$. b. The set of all vectors orthogonal to the gradient with their tails at $P$ form a plane. Find an equation of that plane (soon to be called the tangent plane). $$f(x, y, z)=8-x y z=0 ; P(2,2,2)$$
