question 107

Multiple Choice

The temperature at the point $( x , y ) \text { on a metal plate is modeled by }$ $T ( x , y ) = 300 e ^ { - \left( x ^ { 2 } + y \right) / 2 } , x \geq 0 , y \geq 0$ . Find the directions of no change in heat on the plate from the point $( 5,7 )$ .

• A) There will be no change in directions perpendicular to the gradient \(\pm ( 15 \mathbf { i } - \mathbf { j } )\).
• B) There will be no change in directions parallel to the gradient \(\pm ( 10 \mathbf { i } - \mathbf { j } )\).
• C) There will be no change in directions parallel to the gradient \(\pm ( \mathbf { i } + 10 \mathbf { j } )\).
• D) There will be no change in directions perpendicular to the gradient \(\pm ( \mathbf { i } + 15 \mathbf { j } )\).
• E) There will be no change in directions perpendicular to the gradient \(\pm ( \mathbf { i } - 10 \mathbf { j } )\).
