Suppose that a particle is traveling along the path in R3 given by
x = 2t, y = t3 , z = t + 2 ln(t)
where t is time in seconds, and that the temperature T of the particle when
at position (x, y, z) is given by T (x, y, z) = x4 yz 2 . Use the chain rule to find
the rate of change of the particle’s temperature with respect to time after one
second.
