Imagine you are invited to a birthday party and you arrive late. The room is crowded and you can't find your friend, but you can visually see that the distribu- tion of people in the room is given by the scalar function 5(cos(3)+cos(3)) where x and y are the coordinates of the Cartesian coordinate system centered in the middle of the room (note: here x and y are measured in meters, in other words they are dimensionless). The space is a square room with side length 6 meters, spanning the area -3 m < x < 3m, -3 m < y < 3m. Calculate the gradient of the distribution function. Assuming that you arrive from the door which is in the corner of the room, and people are gathered around your friend, use your result to determine your friend's position. Where is your friend? Explain briefly how you arrived at your answer.
