Multiple Choice

The surface of a mountain is modeled by the equation h(x,y) =40000.005x20.007y2h ( x , y ) = 4000 - 0.005 x ^ { 2 } - 0.007 y ^ { 2 } . A mountain climber is at the point (400,600,4390) ( 400,600,4390 ) . In what direction should the climber move in order to ascend at the greatest rate? Round all numerical values in your answer to one decimal place.
