The temperature at a point (x, y, z) is given by T(x, y, z) = 400e-x² - 5y² - 922 where T is measured in °C and x, y, z in meters. (a) Find the rate of change of temperature at the point P(2, -1, 3) in the direction towards the point (4, -2, 5). °C/m X (b) In which direction does the temperature increase fastest at P? (c) Find the maximum rate of increase at P.
