Solution:

Definition:

Directional derivative is the rate of change of f(x, y, z) in the direction of the unit vector 

The definition of the directional derivative is,Du^x, y, z=limh0fx+ah, y+bh, z+ch-fx, y, zh

Given: f2, 10, 9=8 and Duf2, 10, 9=-3, where u^=8, 14, 118, 14, 11

Du^2, 10, 9=limh0.003f2+8381h, 10+14381h, 9+11381h-f2, 10, 9h8=f2+83810.003, 10+143810.003, 9+113810.003+30.003
