Igor, the inchworm, is crawling along graph paper in a magnetic field. The intensity of the field at the point (x, y) is given by M(x, y) = 3x2 + y2 + 5000. If Igor is at the point (8,6), describe the curve along which he should travel if he wishes to reduce the field intensity as rapidly as possible.
