    Section 13.6 Tangent Planes and Differentials

    Summary
    Tangent plane
    An equation for the tangent plane to the
    surface f (x, y , z) = c at P0 (x0 , y0 , z0 ) is

    fx (P0 )(x − x0 ) + fy (P0 )(y − y0 ) + fz (P0 )(z − z0 ) = 0

    Normal line
    Parametric equations of the line normal to the
    surface f (x, y , z) = c at P0 (x0 , y0 , z0 ) are

    x = x0 +fx (P0 )t, y = y0 +fy (P0 )t, z = z0 +fz (P0 )t

    The gradient of f (x, y , z) = c at P0 (x0 , y0 , z0 ) is the vector ∇f = fx (P0 )i + fy (P0 )j + fz (P0 )k

    Exercise 13. Find an equation for the plane that is tangent to the surface
    √
    z= y − x at the point (1, 2, 1).

    √
    The gradient of f (x, y , z) = z − y − x = 0 is the vector

    ∂f ∂f ∂f 1 1
    ∇f = i+ j+ k = (y − x)−1/2 i − (y − x)−1/2 j + k
    ∂x ∂y ∂z 2 2

    The gradient of f (x, y , z) at (1, 2, 1) is the constant vector

    1 1
    ∇f = i− j+k
    (1,2,1) 2 2

    The tangent plane is the plane through (1, 2, 1) perpendicular to ∇f at


    (1, 2, 1).

    The tangent plane is therefore the plane


    1 1
    ( )(x − 1) + (− )(y − 2) + (1)(z − 1) = 0 ⇒ x − y + 2z = 1
