Explain why or why not Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample. a. The equation 4x - 3y = 12 describes a line in _3. b. The equation z2 = 2x2 - 6y2 determines z as a single function of x and y. c. If f has continuous partial derivatives of all orders, then fxxy = fyyx. d. Given the surface z = f 1x, y2, the gradient _f 1a, b2 lies in the plane tangent to the surface at 1a, b, f 1a, b22. e. There is always a plane orthogonal to both of two distinct intersecting planes.
Reading notes – Clifford, The Ethics of Belief (March 8) “When an action is once done, it is right or wrong for ever; no accidental failure of its good or evil fruits can possibly alter that.” Question of right or wrong origin of belief Man always has chance to act on what evidence suggests.
