18. The speed of sound traveling through ocean water is a func-
tion of temperature, salinity, and pressure. It has been
modeled by the function
where is the speed of sound (in meters per second), is the
temperature (in degrees Celsius), is the salinity (the concen-
tration of salts in parts per thousand, which means the num-
ber of grams of dissolved solids per 1000 g of water), and
is the depth below the ocean surface (in meters). Compute
, , and when , parts
per thousand, and m. Explain the physical signifi-
cance of these partial derivatives.

Choose the domain and viewpoint so that you get a good
view of all three objects.
31. Find the points on the hyperboloid where
the tangent plane is parallel to the plane .

33. Find the linear approximation of the function
at the point (2, 3, 4) and use it
to estimate the number .
34. The two legs of a right triangle are measured as 5 m and
12 m with a possible error in measurement of at most
cm in each. Use differentials to estimate the maximum
error in the calculated value of (a) the area of the triangle and
(b) the length of the hypotenuse.
