Solution

To find the tangent plane to the surface z = e^x cos y at the point P(0,0,1), we first need to find the partial derivatives of the function with respect to x and y.

The partial derivative of z with respect to x is:

dz/dx = e^x cos y

At the point P(0,0,1), this becomes:

dz/dx = e^0 cos 0 = 1

The partial derivative of z with respect to y is:

dz/dy = -e^x sin y

At the point P(0,0,1), this becomes:

dz/dy = -e^0 sin 0 = 0

The equation of the tangent plane at P(0,0,1) is then given by:

z - z0 = dz/dx * (x - x0) + dz/dy * (y - y0)

Substituting the known values, we get:

z - 1 = 1 * (x - 0) + 0 * (y - 0)

Simplifying, we find the equation of the tangent plane to be:

z = x + 1
