To do tis we consider te surface S wit equation z f, (te grap of f ) and we let z 0 f 0, 0. Ten te point P 0, 0, z 0 lies on S. Te vertical plane tat passes troug P in te direction of u intersects S in a curve C. (See Figure.) Te slope of te tangent line T to C at te point P is te rate of cange of z in te direction of u. z FIGURE 1 A unit vector u=ka, bl=kcos, sin l T P(,, z ) Q(,,z) Visual 11.6A animates Figure b rotating u and terefore T.

Terefore, 0 a, 0 b, so 0 a, 0 b, and z z z 0 f 0 a, 0 b f 0, 0 If we take te limit as l 0, we obtain te rate of cange of z (wit respect to distance) in te direction of u, wic is called te directional derivative of f in te direction of u. DEFINITION Te directional derivative of f at 0, 0 in te direction of a unit vector u a, b is D u f 0, 0 lim l 0 f 0 a, 0 b f 0, 0 if tis limit eists.

In oter words, te partial derivatives of f wit respect to and are just special cases of te directional derivative. Wen we compute te directional derivative of a function defined b a formula, we generall use te following teorem. 3 THEOREM If f is a differentiable function of and, ten f as a directional derivative in te direction of an unit vector u a, b and D u f, f, a f, b PROOF If we define a function t of te single variable b t f 0 a, 0 b ten b te definition of a derivative we ave 4 t t0 t0 lim lim l 0 l 0 D u f 0, 0 f 0 a, 0 b f 0, 0 On te oter and, we can write t f,, were 0 a, 0 b, so te Cain Rule (Teorem 11.5.) gives t f d f d If we now put 0, ten 0, 0, and d d f, a f, b 5 t0 f 0, 0 a f 0, 0 b Te directional derivative D u f 1, in Eample 1 represents te rate of cange of z in te direction of u.

4 636 CHAPTER 11 PARTIAL DERIVATIVES THE GRADIENT VECTOR Notice from Teorem 3 tat te directional derivative can be written as te dot product of two vectors: 7 D u f, f, a f, b f,, f, a, b f,, f, u Te first vector in tis dot product occurs not onl in computing directional derivatives but in man oter contets as well. So we give it a special name (te gradient of f ) and a special notation (grad f or f, wic is read del f ). 8 DEFINITION If f is a function of two variables and, ten te gradient of f is te vector function f defined b f, f,, f, f f i j EXAMPLE If f, sin e, ten and f, f, f cos e, e f 0, 1, 0 Wit tis notation for te gradient vector, we can rewrite te epression (7) for te directional derivative as 9 D u f, f, u Tis epresses te directional derivative in te direction of u as te scalar projection of te gradient vector onto u. V EXAMPLE 3 Find te directional derivative of te function f, 3 4 at te point, 1 in te direction of te vector v i 5j. SOLUTION We first compute te gradient vector at, 1: f, 3 i 3 4j f, 1 4 i 8 j Note tat v is not a unit vector, but since s9, te unit vector in te direction of v is u v v v s9 i 5 s9 j
5 SECTION 11.6 DIRECTIONAL DERIVATIVES AND THE GRADIENT VECTOR 637 Te gradient vector f, 1 in Eample 3 is sown in Figure 4 wit initial point, 1. Also sown is te vector v tat gives te direction of te directional derivative. Bot of tese vectors are superimposed on a contour plot of te grap of f.

Again D u f,, z can be interpreted as te rate of cange of te function in te direction of a unit vector u. 10 DEFINITION Te directional derivative of f at 0, 0, z 0 in te direction of a unit vector u a, b, c is FIGURE 4 D u f 0, 0, z 0 lim l 0 if tis limit eists. f 0 a, 0 b, z 0 c f 0, 0, z 0 If we use vector notation, ten we can write bot definitions ( and 10) of te directional derivative in te compact form 11 D u f 0 lim l 0 f 0 u f 0 were 0 0, 0 if n and 0 0, 0, z 0 if n 3. Tis is reasonable since te vector equation of te line troug 0 in te direction of te vector u is given b 0 tu (Equation ) and so f 0 u represents te value of f at a point on tis line. If f,, z is differentiable and u a, b, c, ten te same metod tat was used to prove Teorem 3 can be used to sow tat 1 D u f,, z f,, za f,, zb f z,, zc For a function f of tree variables, te gradient vector, denoted b f or grad f, is f,, z f,, z, f,, z, f z,, z or, for sort, 13 f f, f, f z f f f i j z k

Te unit vector in te direction of v i j k is u 1 s6 i s6 j 1 s6 k Terefore, Equation 14 gives f,, z f,, z, f,, z, f z,, z sin z, z cos z, cos z D u f 1, 3, 0 f 1, 3, 0 u 3k 1 s6 i s6 j 1 s6 k 3 s6 1 3 MAXIMIZING THE DIRECTIONAL DERIVATIVE Suppose we ave a function f of two or tree variables and we consider all possible directional derivatives of f at a given point. Tese give te rates of cange of f in all possible directions. We can ten ask te questions: In wic of tese directions does f cange fastest and wat is te maimum rate of cange? Te answers are provided b te following teorem. Visual 11.6B provides visual confirmation of Teorem THEOREM Suppose f is a differentiable function of two or tree variables. Te maimum value of te directional derivative D is f u f and it occurs wen u as te same direction as te gradient vector f.

8 640 CHAPTER 11 PARTIAL DERIVATIVES TANGENT PLANES TO LEVEL SURFACES Suppose S is a surface wit equation F,, z k, tat is, it is a level surface of a function F of tree variables, and let P 0, 0, z 0 be a point on S. Let C be an curve tat lies on te surface S and passes troug te point P. Recall from Section 10.7 tat te curve C is described b a continuous vector function rt t, t, zt. Let t 0 be te parameter value corresponding to P; tat is, rt 0 0, 0, z 0. Since C lies on S, an point t, t, zt must satisf te equation of S, tat is, 16 F(t, t, zt) k If,, and z are differentiable functions of t and F is also differentiable, ten we can use te Cain Rule to differentiate bot sides of Equation 16 as follows: 17 F d dt F d dt F z dz dt 0 But, since F F, F, F z and rt t, t, zt, Equation 17 can be written in terms of a dot product as F rt 0 In particular, wen t t 0 we ave rt 0 0, 0, z 0, so 18 F 0, 0, z 0 rt 0 0 z ±F(,, z ) tangent plane Equation 18 sas tat te gradient vector at P, F 0, 0, z 0, is perpendicular to te tangent vector rt 0 to an curve C on S tat passes troug P. (See Figure 7.) If F 0, 0, z 0 0, it is terefore natural to define te tangent plane to te level surface F,, z k at P 0, 0, z 0 as te plane tat passes troug P and as normal vector F 0, 0, z 0. Using te standard equation of a plane (Equation ), we can write te equation of tis tangent plane as 19 F 0, 0, z 0 0 F 0, 0, z 0 0 F z 0, 0, z 0 z z 0 0 FIGURE 7 Te normal line to S at P is te line passing troug P and perpendicular to te tangent plane. Te direction of te normal line is terefore given b te gradient vector F 0, 0, z 0 and so, b Equation , its smmetric equations are 0 0 F 0, 0, z 0 0 F 0, 0, z 0 z z 0 F z 0, 0, z 0 In te special case in wic te equation of a surface S is of te form z f, (tat is, S is te grap of a function f of two variables), we can rewrite te equation as F,, z f, z 0
9 SECTION 11.6 DIRECTIONAL DERIVATIVES AND THE GRADIENT VECTOR 641 and regard S as a level surface (wit k 0) of F. Ten so Equation 19 becomes F 0, 0, z 0 f 0, 0 F 0, 0, z 0 f 0, 0 F z 0, 0, z 0 1 f 0, 0 0 f 0, 0 0 z z 0 0 wic is equivalent to Equation Tus our new, more general, definition of a tangent plane is consistent wit te definition tat was given for te special case of Section V EXAMPLE 7 Find te equations of te tangent plane and normal line at te point, 1, 3 to te ellipsoid 4 z 9 3 SOLUTION Te ellipsoid is te level surface (wit k 3) of te function F,, z 4 z 9 Figure 8 sows te ellipsoid, tangent plane, and normal line in Eample 7. 4 Terefore, we ave F,, z F, 1, 3 1 F,, z F, 1, 3 F z,, z z 9 F z, 1, z FIGURE 8 Ten Equation 19 gives te equation of te tangent plane at, 1, 3 as z 3 0 wic simplifies to 3 6 z B Equation 0, smmetric equations of te normal line are 1 1 z 3 3 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE GRADIENT VECTOR We now summarize te was in wic te gradient vector is significant. We first consider a function f of tree variables and a point P 0, 0, z 0 in its domain. On te one and, we know from Teorem 15 tat te gradient vector f 0, 0, z 0 gives te direction of fastest increase of f. On te oter and, we know tat f 0, 0, z 0 is ortog-
10 64 CHAPTER 11 PARTIAL DERIVATIVES onal to te level surface S of f troug P. (Refer to Figure 7.) Tese two properties are quite compatible intuitivel because as we move awa from P on te level surface S, te value of f does not cange at all. So it seems reasonable tat if we move in te perpendicular direction, we get te maimum increase. In like manner we consider a function f of two variables and a point P 0, 0 in its domain. Again te gradient vector f 0, 0 gives te direction of fastest increase of f. Also, b considerations similar to our discussion of tangent planes, it can be sown tat f 0, 0 is perpendicular to te level curve f, k tat passes troug P. Again tis is intuitivel plausible because te values of f remain constant as we move along te curve.
