1 Te Gradient and Directional Deriatie - (.6). Directional Deriaties Definition: Te directional deriatie of f x,y at te point a,b andintedirectionofteunit ector u u,u, denoted as D u f a,b, is defined by proided te limit exists. Note tat If u, 0, and if u 0,, f a u,b u f a,b f a,b f a,b f a,b f a,b f x a,b f y a,b If D u f a,b 0, ten f x,y is increasing at a,b in te direction u. If D u f a,b 0, ten f x,y is decreasing at a,b in te direction u. Property: Suppose tat f is differentiable at a,b and u u, u is any unit ector. Ten D u f a,b f x a,b u f y a,b u f x a,b, f y a,b u, u. Let g f a u,b u. Ten g 0 f a,b. So, f a u,b u f a,b g g 0 lim g 0 Let x a u, y b u. g f x dx d f dy y d f x a u,b u u f y a u,b u u g 0 f x a,b u f y a,b u. In a similar way, we can derie te directional deriatie of f x,y,z at a,b,c and in te unit direction u u, u, u D u f a,b,c f x a,b,c u f y a,b,c u f z a,b,c u f x a,b,c, f y a,b,c, f z a,b,c u, u, u. In wic direction u, isd u f a,b,c te largest (te smallest)? Recall: u u cos were 0. Hence, u is te largest if u (te smallest if u ). Tat is, D u f a,b,c is te largest (te smallest) along te direction u (u ) were f x a,b,c, f y a,b,c, f z a,b,c. Example Let f x,y x y y. Find D u f, were a. u,

Gradients Definition: Te gradient of f x,y is te ector-alued function, denoted by f x,y, is defined by f x,y f x x,y, f y x,y proided partial deriaties exist.

Obsere tat d dt f x t, y t dt d f a,b. f x a,b dx f dy dt y a,b 0 f x a,b, f y a,b dx dy, f a,b r t 0. dt dt dt So, te gradient ector at a,b is perpendicular to te tangent ector of te leel cure at a,b. Example Find te maximum and minimum rates of cange of f x,y x y at,. Know tat f x,y x,8y, f,, and f, Te maximum rate of cange of f x,y at, is and te minimum rate of cange is. Example Let f x,y x y. Sketc te leel cures: f x,y, and f x,y and te gradients of f at,,,,, and,. Sketc in te pat of steepest decent from,. f x,y x y f x,y x y Te pat will be graped on te board. y t - -. Tangent Planes and Normal Lines to a Surface Let f x,y,z be a differentiable function and a,b,c be a point in te domain of f. Consider te leel surface: f x,y,z f a,b,c

5 Let r u, x u,, y u,, z u, be a parametric representation of te leel surface. Obsere tat f u f x a,b,c x u f y a,b,c y u f z a,b,c z u f a,b,c x u, y u, z u f a,b,c r u 0 f f x a,b,c x f y a,b,c y f z a,b,c z f a,b,c x, y, z f a,b,c r 0 So, f a,b,c is perpendicular to te plane containing ectors r u and r wic is te tangent plane of te surface at a,b,c.. Hence, f a,b,c is a normal ector of te tangent plane at a,b,c and te tangent plane can be defined as: f x a,b,c x a f y a,b,c y b f z a,b,c z c 0. Te line in te direction of f a,b,c is called te normal line of te surface at a,b,c and is defined as: r t a f x a,b,c t, b f y a,b,c t, c f z a,b,c t, t. or x a f x a,b,c t, y b f y a,b,c t, z c f z a,b,c t. Note: For leel cures: f x,y f a,b, we can consider te equation: z f x,y or f x,y z 0. Ten f x,y z z and te normal ector is: f x a,b, f y a,b,. Example Find te equation of te tangent plane and normal line of te surface f x,y,z x ye z at,,0. f x 8xye z f x,,0 6 f y x e z f z x y e z, f y,,0 f z,,0 6 Te tangent plane at,,0 : 6 x y 6z 0 Te normal line at,,0 : r t 6t, t, 6t, t Example Find all points at wic te tangent plane to te surface z cosxsiny is parallel to te xy plane.
