QUESTION:

Walking on a surface Consider the following surfaces specified in the form z = f(x, y) and the curve C in the xy-plane given parametrically in the form x = g(t), y = h(t).

a. In each case, find z'(t).

b. Imagine that you are walking on the surface directly above the curve C in the direction of increasing t. Find the values of 1 for which you are walking uphill (that is, z is increasing).

\(z=2 x^{2}+y^{2}+1, C: x=1+\cos t, y=\sin t ; 0 \leq t \leq 2 \pi\)
