Find the equation of the tangent plane and find symmetric equations of the normal line to the surface at the given point.

Solution
Note for the "Tangent Plane Equation": If F is di erentiable at (x0 ,y0 ,z0) then an equation of the tangent plane to the surface given by F(x, y, z) = 0 at (x0 ,y0 ,z0) is Then, the tangent plane equation is:

Therefore, the tangent plane equation is : x+3 y=1
Find the symmetric equations of the normal line to the surface.

Then the normal line at (1,0) has direction of 1/3, and 1 , and then the corresponding to the symmetric equation is (x-1)/(1/3)=y/1

Then, the tangent plane equation is:

The symmetric equation of normal line to the surface at the (e, 2,1) is :
