Directional Derivative

Find the directional derivative of the function at a given point P in the direction of the vector V:

f(x,y,z)= square root of xyz   P(2,4,2)  V=(4,2,-4)

and

f(x,y,z)= z^3 - (x^2)(y)  P(1,6,2)   V=(3,4,12)


Solution Summary

Directional derivatives and gradients are investigated.
