Evaluate the following limits, or explain why the limit does not exist.
Find the gradient of the given function, and find the direction in which the function increases most rapidly at the specified point P.
Find the directional derivative of the given function at the specified point P in the direction of the given vector. Note: The given vectors may not be unit vectors.
Consider the function f(x, y) = 2x + 3y.
(a) Why is the graph of f a plane?
(b) In what direction is f increasing most rapidly at the
point (−1, 4)?
(c) In what direction is f increasing most rapidly at the
point (x 0, y 0)?
(d) Why are your answers to parts (b) and (c) the same?
