Activity 10.6.4 In this activity we investigate how the gradient is related
to the directions of greatest increase and decrease of a function. Let ƒ be a
differentiable function and u a unit vector.
as large as possible.

a. Let be the angle between Vf(xo, yo) and u. Use the relationship be-
tween the dot product and the angle between two vectors to explain why
Duf(xo, yo) = |(fx (xo, Yo), fy (xo, yo))| cos(0).
(10.6.2)
سلام
b. At the point (xo, yo), the only quantity in Equation (10.6.2) that can
change is (which determines the direction u of travel). Explain why
0 0 makes the quantity
|(fx (xo, yo), fy (xo, yo))| cos(0)

c. When 0 = 0, in what direction does the unit vector u point relative to
Vf(xo, yo)? Why? What does this tell us about the direction of greatest
increase of f at the point (xo, yo)?
80,490
d. In what direction, relative to Vf(xo, yo), does f decrease most rapidly
at the point (xo, yo)?
O
e. State the unit vectors u and v (in terms of Vƒ (xo, yo)) that provide the
directions of greatest increase and decrease for the function f at the point
(xo, yo). What important assumption must we make regarding Vf(xo, yo)
in order for these vectors to exist?
