1. f(x,y,z)=√(xyz), grad(f)=0.5<yz, zx, xy>/√(xyz)
(x,y,z)=(3,2,6), grad(f)=0.5<12, 18, 6>/6=<1, 3/2, 1/2>
v=<-1,-2,2>, |v|=3, unit vector u=<-1,-2,2>/3
directional derivative=grad(f)‧u=<1, 3/2, 1/2>‧<-1,-2,2>/3= -1
2. f(x,y,z)=xy+yz+zx, grad(f)=<y+z, x+z, x+y>
(x,y,z)=(1,-1,3), grad(f)=<2, 4, 0>
vector PQ=<1, 5, 2>, unit vector u=<1, 5, 2>/√30
directional derivative=grad(f)‧u=<2,4,0>‧<1,5,2>/√30= 22/√30
-1
22/√30
