The problem asks us to approximate the change in $z$ using the total differential $dz$ as $(x, y)$ moves from point $P$ to point $Q$. Then, we need to calculate the exact change $\Delta z$ using the given function and points. We will solve problem 10, where $z = x^2 - 5xy + y$, $P(2, 3)$, and $Q(2.03, 2.98)$.
