Find the derivative of f(x, y, z) = x3 - xy2 - z at point P(1, 1, 0) in the direction of v = 2i - 3j + 6k.
Find the derivative of $f(x, y, z) = x^3 - xy^2 - z$ at point $P(1, 1, 0)$ in the direction of $v = 2i - 3j + 6k$. [5]
- Function: $f(x,y,z) = x^3 - xy^2 - z$ - Point: $P(1, 1, 0)$ - Direction vector: $\mathbf{v} = 2\mathbf{i} - 3\mathbf{j} + 6\mathbf{k}$ The directional derivative is $D{\mathbf{u}}f = \nabla f \cdot \hat{\mathbf{u}}$, where $\hat{\mathbf{u}}$ is the unit vector along $\mathbf{v}$. $$\frac{\parti...
