When you multiply two negative signed answers the overall answer will be positive. But when you multiply one number that is positive and one number that is negative, the overall answer will be negative. I hope this was what you were looking for!

Find the maximum rate of change of f at the given point and the direction in which it occurs. f(p, q) = 8qe−p + 4pe−q, (0, 0) ma

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$Given \ f (p,q) = 8qe^{-p} + 4pe^{-q} \ where \ P_o(0,0) \\ \text{thus the gradient of f is: } \\ \\ \bigtriangledown f(p,q) = \Big(\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial p}, \dfrac{\partial f}{\partial q} \Big) \\ \\ \dfrac{\partial f}{\partial p} = -8qe^{-p} + 4pe^{-q} \\ \\ \dfrac{\partial f}{\partial p} = 8qe^{-p} - 4pe^{-q} \\ \\ Then: \bigtriangledown f(p.q) = (-4qe^{-p}+ 8qe^{-q}, 4qe^{-p}- 8qe^{-q}) \\ \\ f(0,0) = (-4*(0)e^{-0}+ 8*(0)e^{-(0)}, 4*(0)e^{-(0)}- 8*(0)e^{-(0)}) \\ \\ = (0+8,4-0) = (8.4)$
