The height of a hill (in feet) is given by h(x, y) = 30(14 - 5x² - 2y² + 3xy + 30x - 18y) where x is the distance (in miles) east and y is the distance (in miles) north of your cabin. If you are at a point on the hill 1 mile north and 1 mile east of your cabin, what is the rate of change of the height of the hill (a) in a northerly direction and (b) in an easterly direction?

a. (a) 570 ft/mi, (b) 690 ft/mi
b. (a) –570 ft/mi, (b) 690 ft/mi
c. (a) 690 ft/mi, (b) 570 ft/mi
d. (a) 690 ft/mi, (b) –570 ft/mi


b. (a) –570 ft/mi, (b) 690 ft/mi
