I'm lost on using the gradient for tangent planes.
Can someone list a step by step procedure for utilizing the gradient of some $f(x)$ to find the tangent plane to a surface? I'm confused about the distinction between surfaces and level surfaces also.

Comment: It would be much easier to provide a reasonable answer if you provided a specific problem that you're working on with a specific function $f$.
