If f(x, y, z) = x sin(yz), (a) find the gradient of f and (b) find the directional derivative of f at (2, 4, 0) in the direction

of v = i + 3j − k. SOLUTION (a) The gradient of f is ∇f(x, y, z) = fx(x, y, z), fy(x, y, z), fz(x, y, z) = . (b) At (2, 4, 0) we have ∇f(2, 4, 0) = <0,0,8> . The unit vector in the direction of v = i + 3j − k is u = < 1 √11​, 3 √11​,− 1 √11​> . Therefore this equation gives Duf(2, 4, 0) = ∇f(2, 4, 0) · u = 8k · 1 √11​, 3 √11​,− 1 √11​ = − 8 √11​ .

Answer:

a) \nabla f(x,y,z) = \sin{yz}\mathbf{i} + xz\cos{yz}\mathbf{j} + xy \cos{yz}\mathbf{k}.

b) Du_{f}(2,4,0) = -\frac{8}{\sqrt{11}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a function f(x,y,z), this function has the following gradient:

\nabla f(x,y,z) = f_{x}(x,y,z)\mathbf{i} + f_{y}(x,y,z)\mathbf{j} + f_{z}(x,y,z)\mathbf{k}.

(a) find the gradient of f

We have that f(x,y,z) = x\sin{yz}. So

f_{x}(x,y,z) = \sin{yz}

f_{y}(x,y,z) = xz\cos{yz}

f_{z}(x,y,z) = xy \cos{yz}.

\nabla f(x,y,z) = f_{x}(x,y,z)\mathbf{i} + f_{y}(x,y,z)\mathbf{j} + f_{z}(x,y,z)\mathbf{k}.

\nabla f(x,y,z) = \sin{yz}\mathbf{i} + xz\cos{yz}\mathbf{j} + xy \cos{yz}\mathbf{k}

(b) find the directional derivative of f at (2, 4, 0) in the direction of v = i + 3j − k.

The directional derivate is the scalar product between the gradient at (2,4,0) and the unit vector of v.

We have that:

\nabla f(x,y,z) = \sin{yz}\mathbf{i} + xz\cos{yz}\mathbf{j} + xy \cos{yz}\mathbf{k}

\nabla f(2,4,0) = \sin{0}\mathbf{i} + 0\cos{0}\mathbf{j} + 8 \cos{0}\mathbf{k}.

\nabla f(2,4,0) = 0i+0j+8k=(0,0,8)

The vector is v = i + 3j - k = (1,3,-1)

To use v as an unitary vector, we divide each component of v by the norm of v.

|v| = \sqrt{1^{2} + 3^{2} + (-1)^{2}} = \sqrt{11}

So

v_{u} = (\frac{1}{\sqrt{11}}, \frac{3}{\sqrt{11}}, \frac{-1}{\sqrt{11}})

Now, we can calculate the scalar product that is the directional derivative.

Du_{f}(2,4,0) = (0,0,8).(\frac{1}{\sqrt{11}}, \frac{3}{\sqrt{11}}, \frac{-1}{\sqrt{11}}) = -\frac{8}{\sqrt{11}}

You just want to simplify right?!

45. (a^2b^3)(ab)^-2
= (a^2b^3)(a^-2b^-2)
= b
46. (-3x^3y)^2(4xy^2)
= (-9x^6y^2)(4xy^2)
= -36x^7y^4
47. 3c^2d(2c^3d^5) / 15c^4d^2
= 6c^5d^6 / 15c^4d^2
= 2/5c1/4x^4
48. -10g^6h^9(g^2h^3) / 30g^3h^3
= -10g^8h^12 / 30g^3h^3
= -1/3g^5h^9
49. 5x^4y^2(2x^5y^6) / 20x^3y^5
= 10x^9y^8 / 20x^3y^5
= 1/2x^6 1/3y^3
50. -12n^7p^5(n^2p^4) / 36n^6p^7
= -12n^9p^9 / 36n^6p^7
= -1/3n^3p^2

(Sorry it’s messy it’d look better if my phone could actually put the numbers to the power)
