Answer

$\sqrt 6, \lt -1,-1,-2 \gt$

Work Step by Step

Formula to calculate the maximum rate of change of $f$: $D_uf=|\nabla f(x,y)|$ $\nabla f(x,y)=\lt \dfrac{1}{z}, \dfrac{1}{z}, -\dfrac{x+y}{z^2}\gt $ $\nabla f(1,1,-1)=\lt \dfrac{1}{-1}, \dfrac{1}{-1}, -\dfrac{1+1}{(-1)^2}\gt=\lt -1,-1,-2 \gt$ $|\nabla f(0,1)|=\sqrt{(-1)^2+(- 1)^2+(-2)^2}=\sqrt 6$ Hence, the required answers are: $\sqrt 6, \lt -1,-1,-2 \gt$
