Answer

a) $3x+4y-6$ b) $0$

Work Step by Step

Since, we have $L(x,y)=z_0+f_x(x-a)+f_y(y-b)$ ...(1) a ) Now, $f_x=3$; and $f_y=4$ Now eq. (1) becomes $L(1,1)=1+3(x-1)+(4)(y-1)=3x+4y-6$ b) Since, we have $L(x,y)=z_0+f_x(x-a)+f_y(y-b)$ ...(1) Now, $f_x=0$; and $f_y=0$ Now eq. (1) becomes $L(0,0)=0+0(x-0)+0(y-0)=0$ Hence, a) $3x+4y-6$ b) $0$
