Q1) (a) 

Find the equations of the tenagent plane and normal line to the surface x2+y2+z2=3 at the point (1,1,1).

Here,fx,y,z=x2+y2+z2-3 and p=(x1,y1,z1)=(1, 1, 1).

Now,

  • ∂f∂x=∂∂x(x2+y2+z2-3)=2x

    ⟹∂f∂x=(2x)(1,1,1)                 [Replace,p=(1,1,1)]

    ⟹∂f∂xp=2(1)=2

  • ∂f∂y=∂∂y[x2+y2+z2-3]=2y

    ⟹∂f∂y=(2y)(1,1,1)                 [Replace,p=(1,1,1)]

    ⟹∂f∂yp=2(1)=2

  • ∂f∂z=∂∂z[x2+y2+z2-3]=2z

    ⟹∂f∂z=(2z)(1,1,1)                 [Replace,p=(1,1,1)]

    ⟹∂f∂zp=2(1)=2

Equation of  TANGENT PLANE is,

    (x-x1) ∂f∂xp +(y-y1) ∂f∂xp +(z-z1) ∂f∂xp=0

    ⟹(x-1) 2+(y-1) 2+(z-1) 2=0

    ⟹2x-2+2y-2+2z-2=0

    ⟹2x+2y+2z-6=0

    ⟹2x+2y+2z=6

    ⟹x+y+z=3                 [Cancelling by "2" from eqch term]

Equation of  NORMAL LINE is,

    x-x1∂f∂xp = y-y1∂f∂yp = z-z1∂f∂zp

    ⟹x-12 = y-12 = z-12                 Cancelling "2" from denomenator

    ⟹x-1=y-1=z-1               Adding "1" in all terms

    ⟹x=y=z
