Homework Statement
surface of mountain is modeled by h(x,y)=5000-0.001x^2-.004y^2. Climber is at (500,300,4390) and he drops bottle which is at (300,450,4100)
What is his elevation rate of change if he heads for the bottle?
In what direction should he proceed to reach z=4100 feet the fastest, so that he can be on a constant elevation to reach his bottle?
