In questions 1 and 2, consider the surface \(z^2 - x^2 - y^2 = 4\)
1. An equation of the tangent plane to this surface at the point \((1, 2, 3)\) is
a. \(-x - 2y + 3z = 8\)
b. \(-x - 2y + 3z = 4 \)
c. \( x + 2y + 3z = 14 \)
d. \(-x + 2y - 3z = -6 \)
e. \( x + 2y + 3z = -14 \)
2. An equation of the normal line to this surface at the point \((1, 2, 3)\) is
a. \(x = 1 - t, y = 2 - 2t, z = 3 + 3t \)
b. \( x = 1 + t, y = 2 - 2t, z = 3 + 3t \)
c. \( x = 1 - t, y = 2 + 2t, z = 3 + 3t \)
d. \( x = 1 + t, y = 2 + 2t, z = 3 + 3t \)
e. \( x = 1 - t, y = 2 - 2t, z = 3 - 3t \)
3. Compute the directional derivative of the function \( f(x,y) = xe^y + x^3\) at the point \( (1, 0) \) in the direction given by vector \( {\bf v} = \langle 3, 4 \rangle \).
a. \( \sqrt(17) \)
b. \( 3 \)
c. \( 16 \)
d. \( \frac{16}{5} \)
e. \( 0 \)
