Quantities that have magnitude and direction but not position. Some examples of vectors are velocity, displacement, acceleration, and force. They are sometimes called Euclidean or spatial vectors.
I would need help with a, b, and c as mention below.
(a) Find the gradient of f.(b) Evaluate the gradient at the point P.(c) Find the rate of change of f at P in the direction of the vector u.
