Question

hello, i got the workings for this question already, however i am still unsure about it, is it possible to explain it in depth to me? thanks !

1. The air pressure in a particular room varies from point to point and is given by
p(x, y, z) = 3x + xỶ exp(-2 y), where (x, y, z) describes a general point (with reference to a Cartesian
coordinate system).

(a) At the point (1,0, 2) , calculate the rate of change of pressure per unit distance in the direction of the
vector i- 2j+ 2k .
(b) At (1,0, 2) , find all directions along which the rate of change of pressure per unit distance is zero.
(Give the directions using vectors in the form ai+ bj+ ck .)
(c) At (1,0,2), find the direction along which the rate of increase in the pressure per unit distance is the
greatest. What is the greatest rate of increase in the pressure per unit distance at (1,0,2) ?
Solution. We need Vpy.=(1.0.2) in all the parts.
