Mat 7 Calculus III Updated on 10/4/07 Dr. Firoz Section 14.6 Directional Derivatives In this section we etend the concept o a partial derivative to the more general notion o a directional derivative. The partial derivatives o a unction give the instantaneous rates o change o that unction in directions parallel to the coordinate aes. Directional derivatives allow us to compute the rates o change o a unction with respect to distance in an direction. The partial derivatives (, ) and (, ) represent the rates o change o (, ) in the directions parallel to the -ais and -ais. In this section we investigate the rates o change o (, ) in other directions given. Deinition: I (, ) is a unction o and and a given unit vector u = u1i + u j, then the directional derivative o (, ) in the direction o u at ( 0, 0) is given b D (, ) = (, ) u + (, ) u = u u 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 where =<, > called the gradient o (, ). The gradient o a scalar unction is a vector which is orthogonal to the level curves. Maimum directional derivative: We have Du ( 0, 0) = u = u cosθ where θ is the angle between the gradient vector and the given unit vector. For maimum value o directional derivative cosθ must be equal to 1, which occurs when θ = 0 and then the unit vector has the same direction as the gradient vector. Theorem: Suppose (, ) is a dierentiable unction o two variables. The maimum value o the directional derivative Du (, ) is direction as the gradient vector =<, > and it occurs when u has the same Tangent Plane and Normal Vector: Assume that F(,, z) continuous irst order partial derivatives and let c = F( 0, 0, z0). I F( 0, 0, z0) O then F( 0, 0, z0) is a normal vector to the surace c = F(,, z) at the point P0 ( 0, 0, z0) and the tangent plane to the surace at P0 ( 0, 0, z0) is ( ) (,, z ) + ( ) (,, z ) + ( z z ) (,, z ) = 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 z 0 0 0 Eamples 1.

Find the equation o the tangent plane to + 4 + z = 18 at P(1,, 1) and determine the acute angle that the plane makes with the plane. Solution: F(,, z) =<,8,z >. Now F(1,,1) =<,16, > The plane thru P(1,, 1) has the equation ( 1) + 16( ) + ( z 1) = 0 The angle between two planes is the angle between the normal to the planes. Let us call the normals F(1,,1) =<,16, >= n1 and on plane < 0, 0,1 >= n. The angle n n θ = = n1 n 1 1 1 cos cos (1/ 66) Section 14.7 Maimum and Minimum Values Deinition: A unction o two variables has local ma at ( a, b) i (, ) ( a, b) where (, ) is near ( a, b ). The number ( a, b) is called the local maimum value o On the other hand i (, ) ( a, b) where (, ) is near ( a, b ). The number ( a, b) is called the local minimum value o Theorem: I has a local maimum or minimum at ( a, b) and the irst partial derivatives o eist then ( a, b) = 0, ( a, b) = 0. The point ( a, b) is called a stationar point or a critical point. Second derivative test: Suppose the second partial derivatives o are continuous on a disk with center at ( a, b ), and suppose that ( a,) b = 0, ( a, b) = 0. Let us deine that D = D( a, b) = ( a, b) ( a, b) ( a, b) = 1) I D > 0, and ( a, b) > 0, then ( a, b) is a local minimum ) I D > 0, and ( a, b) < 0, then ( a, b) is a local maimum ) I D < 0, then, then ( a, b) is neither a local minimum nor a local maimum. In this case the point ( a, b) is called a SADDLE POINT. And graph o crosses its tangent plane at ( a, b )
