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.
Sketch the level curves f(x, y) = c of the following functions for c = 鈭3, 鈭2, 鈭1, 0, 1, 2, and 3:
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 (鈭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?
Find the gradient of the given function, and find the direction in which the function increases most rapidly at the specified point P.
In Exercises , use the partial derivatives of and the point specified to
find the equation of the line tangent to the surface defined by the function in the direction,
find the equation of the line tangent to the surface defined by the function in the direction, and
find the equation of the plane containing the lines you found in parts and .
