Document Summary

L24 math 233 lecture 18- directional derivatives and gradient vectors. If f(x,y) is differentiable, then f(x,y) = 0 defines y = y(x) implicitly. This method can be used to solve for dx/dy does not equal 0 given dx = y dy. Write this as f(x,y) = 0 using f(x,y)= x2 + y2 1 y = 1 x2. Y = 2 dy = x dx for y, to get. X 1 x2 dy = ( x 1 x2 dx to this problem. Let u = be a unit vector (this means magnitude of u is 1) Let f = f(x,y) be differentiable at ( Definition: the directional derivative of f at ( x0 y0. <0,1> b) a, u in the u direction is. Error vanishes fast enough to ignore while calculating derivative. Cancel out h and use this approximation to calculate the directional derivative. 0 y0 * ( x0 + f. 0 y0 * h + f (x ,
