==========QUESTION=========
Find the equation for the (i) tangent plane and (ii) normal line (in parametric
form) at point P0(1, 1, 1) on the surface x2 xyy 2 z = 0.
==========SOLUTION==========
To nd the equation of the tangent plane and the normal line at the point
P0 (1, 1, −1) on the surface given by the equation F (x, y, z) = x2 −xy−y 2 −z = 0,
we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Compute the Gradient
The gradient of F is given by:
 
∂F ∂F ∂F
∇F = , ,
∂x ∂y ∂z

Calculating the partial derivatives:


- ∂F ∂F ∂F
∂x = 2x − y - ∂y = −x − 2y - ∂z = −1
Thus,
∇F (x, y, z) = (2x − y, −x − 2y, −1)
Step 2: Evaluate the Gradient at P0 (1, 1, −1)
Now, we evaluate the gradient at the point (1, 1, −1):

∇F (1, 1, −1) = (2(1) − 1, −(1) − 2(1), −1) = (1, −3, −1)

Step 3: Equation of the Tangent Plane


The equation of the tangent plane at the point P0 (x0 , y0 , z0 ) can be written
using the gradient:  
x − x0
∇F (P0 ) ·  y − y0  = 0
z − z0
Substituting P0 (1, 1, −1) and ∇F (1, 1, −1) = (1, −3, −1):

1(x − 1) − 3(y − 1) − 1(z + 1) = 0

Simplifying this equation:

x − 1 − 3y + 3 − z − 1 = 0
