Chapter 13, Problem 77

(choose chapter or problem)

Prove that the angle of inclination \(\boldsymbol{\theta}\) of the tangent plane to the surface z = f(x,y) at the point \(\left(x_{0}, y_{0}, z_{0}\right)\) is given by

\(\cos \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\left[f_{x}\left(x_{0}, y_{0}\right)\right]^{2}+\left[f_{y}\left(x_{0}, y_{0}\right)\right]^{2}+1}}\).

costheta=frac1sqrt[f_x

(x_0,y_0)]^2+[f_y(x_0,y_0)]^2+1
