The Chain Rule & Implicit Differentiation · Medium problem

The temperature T(x,y,z)T(x,y,z) has gradient ∇T(2,−1,3)=⟨1,4,−1⟩\nabla T(2,-1,3) = \langle 1, 4, -1\rangle. A probe moves along r(t)=⟨2t, −t2, 3t3⟩\mathbf r(t) = \langle 2t,\ -t^2,\ 3t^3\rangle and passes through (2,−1,3)(2,-1,3) at t=1t = 1. Find the rate of change of the temperature the probe records at t=1t = 1.
