Interpreting directional derivatives A function f and a point P are given. Let θ correspond to the direction of the directional derivative.
- a. Find the gradient and evaluate it at P.
- b. Find the angles θ (with respect to the positive x-axis) associated with the directions of maximum increase, maximum decrease, and zero change.
- c. Write the directional derivative at P as a function of θ; call this function g.
- d. Find the value of θ that maximizes g(θ) and find the maximum value.
- e. Verify that the value of θ that maximizes g corresponds to the direction of the gradient. Verify that the maximum value of g equals the magnitude of the gradient.

- Write the Leibniz notation for the derivative of the given function and include units. The distance to the ground, D, in feet, of a skydiver is a function of the time t in minutes since the skydiver jumped out of the airplane. The number, N, of gallons of gas left in a gas tank is a function of the distance, D, in miles, the car has been driven.arrow_forwardThe PA Liquor Control Board orders 30,000 cases of French winein a year. It costs 100$ to place an order and 5 $ to store one case for one year. Let x be the number of orders in a year.

Gavin sets his oven so that it has a maximum temperature of 300°F and a minimum temperature of 240°. Once the temperature hits 300°, it takes 20 minutes before it is 300° again. Gavin's cake needs to be in the oven for 30 minutes at temperatures at or above 290°. He puts the cake into the oven when it is at 270° and rising. How long will Gavin need to leave the cake in the oven? (Round your answer to the nearest minute.) The answer to this question has to be the time in minutes rounded to the nearest integer in which the cake should be in the oven.arrow_forward
