Answer

$\sqrt{65}, \lt 1, 8 \gt$

Work Step by Step

Formula to calculate the maximum rate of change of $f$: $D_uf=|\nabla f(x,y)|$ $\nabla f(x,y)=(\dfrac{2y}{\sqrt x},4\sqrt x)$ $\nabla f(4,1)=\lt \dfrac{2(1)}{\sqrt (4)},4\sqrt (4) \gt=\lt 1, 8 \gt$ $|\nabla f(4,1)|=\sqrt{1^2+ 8^2}=\sqrt{65}$ Hence, the required answers are: $\sqrt{65}, \lt 1, 8 \gt$
