A city wants to know if a new advertising campaign to make citizens aware of the dangers of driving after drinking has been effective. They count the number of drivers who have been stopped with more alcohol in their systems than the law allows for each day of the week in the week before and the week a month after the campaign starts. Here are the results:

Find the path followed by a heat seeking particle
: The temperature field in the neighborhood of (π / 4, 0) is given by T(x, y) = square root 2 e-y cos (x). Find the path followed by a heat seeking particle originating at (π / 4, 0).
