Find the equation of the tangent plane to the graph of f(x,y)=8x22xy2 at the point (5,4).
A)z=23x-15y+42
B)z=48x-80y+120
C)0=48x-80y+120
D)0=23x-15y+42

Step 1
We first find the partial derivatives
f=8x22xy2
fx=16x2y2
fy=4xy
At (5,4)
fx=16x2y2=16(5)2(4)2=48
fy=4xy=4(5)(4)=80
So the direction vector of the normal is = (48,-80)
Step 2
So the equation of the tangent plane is:
z=(8(5)202(5)(4)2)+48(x5)+(80)(y4)
z=40+48x-240-80y+320
z=48x-80y+120
