Q. 12
Question
Use your definition from Exercise 11 to show that the directional derivative of a function of a single variable at a point in the direction of is, and that the directional derivative of at in the direction of is .
Step-by-Step Solution
VerifiedIt shows that, when then the value is
be a single variable function. The derivative of at a point in limit form is given by
The direction derivative of in the direction of the unit vector at a point is given by
, then
From
Again when then -, so
From
