Find the direction in which the maximum rate of change occurs for the function f ( x , y ) = 3 x sin ( x y ) at the point (4,3). Give your answer as a unit vector.

For the function f ( x , y ) = − 3 e^ 5 x sin ( y ) , find a unit tangent vector to the level curve at the point ( − 5 , 5 ) that has a positive x component. Present your answer with three decimal places of accuracy.
