Question
![**Problem Statement:**
1. **Find the gradient of \( f(x, y) = \frac{14 - x^2 - y^2}{9} \).**
![Placeholder for answer]
2. **Find the gradient at point \( P(1, 4) \).**
![Placeholder for answer]
**Explanation:**
- The gradient of a function \( f(x, y) \) is a vector containing the partial derivatives with respect to \( x \) and \( y \), respectively.
- **Gradient Formula:**
For a function \( f(x, y) \):
\[
\nabla f(x, y) = \left( \frac{\partial f}{\partial x}, \frac{\partial f}{\partial y} \right)
\]
- **Steps to Solve:**
1. Calculate the partial derivative of \( f \) with respect to \( x \).
2. Calculate the partial derivative of \( f \) with respect to \( y \).
3. Evaluate the gradient at the given point \( P(1, 4) \).
- **Partial Derivatives Calculation:**
For \( f(x, y) = \frac{14 - x^2 - y^2}{9} \), let's compute:
1. \[
\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial}{\partial x} \left(\frac{14 - x^2 - y^2}{9}\right)
\]
2. \[
\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial}{\partial y} \left(\frac{14 - x^2 - y^2}{9}\right)
\]
- **Evaluating at Point \( P(1, 4) \):**
Once the partial derivatives are found, substitute \( x = 1 \) and \( y = 4 \) into the gradient components to find the value at \( P(1, 4) \).
**Note:** Graphs or diagrams are not provided in this image. The solution involves vector calculus concepts and manual computation of derivatives.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fad35cd49-88f1-4759-9e4c-232c0c792d3e%2F1899e12e-6d83-4fbb-957e-8f711b1f8fcf%2F7193t8w.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
