Let h(x, y) be a differentiable function and let (xo, yo) be a point in the domain of h. Also, let u be a
unit vector. Then
D- h(xo, yo) = -Du h(xo, yo).
Hint: Your job is to show that two directional derivatives are related. First notice the two negative signs.
One of them is the negative of a VECTOR. Start by computing the directional derivative on the LHS.
Remember that for the dot product, a (-b) = (-a) b=-(ab).
Suppose ƒ is differentiable at (9, 9), ∇ƒ(9, 9) = ⟨3, 1⟩, and w = (1, -1). Compute the directional derivative of ƒ at ⟨9, 9⟩ in the direction of the vector w.
