At the beginning of this section we discussed the function I = f(T, H), where I is the heat index, T is the actual temperature, and H is the relative humidity. Use Table 1 to estimate fT(92, 60) and fH(92, 60). What are the practical interpretations of these values?

Question
The paraboloid z = 6 − x − x2 − 2y2 intersects the plane x = 1 in a parabola. Find parametric equations for the tangent line to this parabola at the point (1, 2, −4). Use a computer to graph the paraboloid, the parabola, and the tangent line on the same screen.
Solution
The first step in solving 14.3 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The paraboloid z = 6 − x − x2 − 2y2 intersects the plane x = 1 in a parabola. Find parametric equations for the tangent line to this parabola at the point (1, 2, −4). Use a computer to graph the paraboloid, the parabola, and the tangent line on the same screen.
From the textbook chapter Partial Derivatives you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
