I hesitated to put this in calculus but oh well.
We have a surface $\displaystyle S : 2x^2 + 3y^2 + x - z = 0$ and a point $\displaystyle P(1;2;15)$ belonging to that surface.
I was asked to find the normal vector, which I did (its (5;12;-1) ). I am also asked to find vectors linearly independant and tangent to that S surface.
By using partial derivatives I have found
$\displaystyle z - 15 = 5(x - 1)$
$\displaystyle z - 15 = 12(y - 2)$
I don't know how to find the vectors from that point. I know that 5 is the slope for the partial derivative in x and 12 is the slope for the partial derivative in y.
Thanks for the help!
