Homework Statement
[tex]D_{u}(f)(a,b) = \triangledown f(a,b)\cdot u[/tex]
[tex]D_{(\frac{1}{\sqrt2}, \frac{1}{\sqrt2})}(f)(a,b) = 3 \sqrt{2}[/tex]
where [tex]u = (\frac{1}{\sqrt2}, \frac{1}{\sqrt2})[/tex]
find [tex]\bigtriangledown f(a.b)[/tex]
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
first you change grad f into it's partial derivative form and then take the dot product:
(df/dx, df/dy).(1/root2, 1/root2) = 3root2
you'll find that:
df/dx + df/dy = 6
where would I go from here? quite confused.
