To find the equation of the tangent plane to the surface defined by \( f(x, y) = \frac{y}{x} \) at the point \( (1, 6, 6) \), we first need to verify that \( z = f(x, y) \) yields \( z = \frac{6}{1} = 6 \), which confirms the point lies on the surface. Next, we calculate the partial derivatives of \( f \): - \( f_x = \frac{\partial}{\partial x} \left( \frac{y}{x} \right) = -\frac{y}{x^2} \) - \( f_y = \frac{\partial}{\partial y} \left( \frac{y}{x} \right) = \frac{1}{x} \) At the point \( (1, 6) \): - \( f_x(1, 6) = -\frac{6}{1^2} = -6 \) - \( f_y(1, 6) = \frac{1}{1} = 1 \) Using the point-slope form for the tangent plane: \[ z - z_0 = f_x(x_0, y_0)(x - x_0) + f_y(x_0, y_0)(y - y_0) \] where \( (x_0, y_0, z_0) = (1, 6, 6) \). Substituting the values, we have: \[ z - 6 = -6(x - 1) + 1(y - 6) \] Simplifying this gives: \[ z - 6 = -6x + 6 + y - 6 \] \[ z = -6x + y + 6 \] Thus, the equation of the tangent plane is: \[ z = -6x + y + 6. \]
