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?
