Example Question #1664 : Calculus
Find the slope of the function at
.
To consider finding the slope, let's discuss the topic of the gradient.
For a function , the gradient is the sum of the derivatives with respect to each variable, multiplied by a directional vector:
It is essentially the slope of a multi-dimensional function at any given point
Knowledge of the following derivative rules will be necessary:
Trigonometric derivative:
Note that u may represent large functions, and not just individual variables!
The approach to take with this problem is to simply take the derivatives one at a time. When deriving for one particular variable, treat the other variables as constant.
