Partial Derivatives & the Gradient · Challenge problem

At a point PP, a differentiable function f(x,y)f(x,y) has directional derivative 22 in the direction (35,45)\left(\dfrac{3}{5}, \dfrac{4}{5}\right) and directional derivative 2213\dfrac{22}{13} in the direction (513,1213)\left(\dfrac{5}{13}, \dfrac{12}{13}\right). Find the maximum rate of change of ff at PP.
