Answer

$z=8x-8y+11$

Work Step by Step

Given: $z=(x+2)^{2}-2(y-1)^{2}-5$, $(2,3,3)$ Consider $f(x,y)= (x+2)^{2}-2(y-1)^{2}-5$ $f_{x}(x,y)=2(x+2)$ $f_{y}(x,y)=-4(y-1)$ At $(2,3,3)$ $f_{x}(2,3)=8$ $f_{y}(2,3)=-8$ The equation of the tangent plane to the given surface at the specified point $(2,3,3)$ is given by $z-z_{0}=f_{x}(x_{0},y_{0})(x-x_{0})+f_{y}(x_{0},y_{0})(y-y_{0})$ On substituting the values, we get $z-3=8(x-2)-8(y-3)$ $z=8x-16-8y+24+3$ Hence, $z=8x-8y+11$
