In exercise 39-42, show that the directional derivative of the given function at the specified point Pis zero for every unit vector u.

f(x,y)=3x2−4xy+2y2P=(0,0)

Short Answer

Expert verified

Directional derivation of function at point Pwith directional unit vector is given by,

localid="1650601265652" ∇f(P)×u=0

Step by step solution

01

Expression of solution

We have given is f(x,y)=3x2−4xy−2y2at specified point P=(0,0)with unit vector u=(1,1)

localid="1650601329209" ∇f(P)×u=∇f(0,0)×u=dfdx(0,0)i+dfdy(0,0)j×i+ji2+j2

02

Calculation

∇f(P)×u=(6x−4y)(0,0)i+(−4x−4y)(0,0)j×i+j2

=[(0−0)i+(0−0)j]×i+j2

=[0i+0j]×i+j2

∇f(P)×u=0
