1 13.5 Directional Derivatives and te Gradient Vector Contemporary Calculus DIRECTIONAL DERIVATIVES and te GRADIENT VECTOR Directional Derivatives In Section 13.3 te partial derivatives f x and f y were defined as f x (x,y) = f y (x,y) = f(x +,y) " f(x,y) f(x,y +) " f(x,y) (if te it exists and is finite) and (if te it exists and is finite). Tese partial derivative measured te instantaneous rate of cange of z = f(x,y) as we moved in te increasing x direction (wile olding y constant) and in te increasing y direction (wile olding x constant). Sometimes, owever, we are interested in te rate of cange of z = f(x,y) as we move in some oter direction, and tat leads to te idea of a directional derivative to measure te instantaneous rate of cange of z = f(x,y) as we move in any direction. Definition: Te directional derivative of z = f(x,y) in te direction of a unit vector u = a, b is D u f(x,y) = f(x +a,y +b) " f(x,y) (if te it exists and is finite). Figures 1a and 1b illustrate te slope of te line tangent to te curve were te plane above te vector u intersects te surface z = f(x,y). Using tis definition can be tedious and algebraically messy, but it is wort doing once. Fortunately we will soon see a muc more efficient metod.
2 13.5 Directional Derivatives and te Gradient Vector Contemporary Calculus 2 Example 1: Use tis definition to calculate D u f( 1, 2) for f(x,y) = 1 + xy and u = 0.6, 0.8 Solution: D u f( 1, 2) = f(1 +0.6,2 +0.8) " f(1,2) = [1 +(1 +0.6)(2 +0.8)] " 3 [ (0.6) +0.8] " 3 = 2(0.6) +0.8 = 2 Practice 1: Calculate D u f( 2, 1) for f(x,y) = x 2 + 2x + 3y +1 and u = 5 13, For more complicated functions it becomes extremely difficult to use te definition to calculate directional derivatives. Fortunately tere is a muc easier way given by te next teorem. Teorem: If ten f(x,y) is differentiable, f as a directional derivative in te direction of every unit vector u = a, b, and D u f(x,y) = f x (x,y) a + f y (x,y) b. A proof of tis result uses a multivariable "Cain Rule" tat we will discuss in Section Example 2: Verify tat tis teorem gives te same answer for D u f(x,y) as our use of te directional derivative definition in Example 1. Solution: f x (x,y)=y and f y (x,y)=x so f x ( 1, 2)= 2 and f y ( 1, 2)= 1. u = 0.6, 0.8 so D u f( 1, 2) = (2)(0.6) + (1)(0.8) = 2, te same result as in Example 1. Practice 2: Verify tat tis teorem gives te same answer for D u f(x,y) as your use of te directional derivative definition in Practice 1. Example 3: Calculate te directional derivatives of z = f(x,y) = x + 5x 2 y 3 at te point (2,1) in te directions of te unit vectors (a) u = 0.6, 0.8, (b) u = 0.6, 0.8, (c) u = 0.8, 0.6, (d) u = i = 1, 0, and (e) u =j = 0, 1. Solution: f x (x,y) = xy 3 and f y (x,y) = 15x 2 y 2 so f x (2,1) = 21 and f y (2,1) = 60. Ten, by te previous Teorem, (a) for u = 0.6, 0.8, D u f(2,1) = f x (2,1) a + f y (2,1) b = (21)(0.6) + (60)(0.8) = 60.6.
3 13.5 Directional Derivatives and te Gradient Vector Contemporary Calculus 3 (b) for u = 0.6, 0.8, D u f(2,1) = (21)( 0.6) + (60)( 0.8) = (c) for u = 0.8, 0.6, D u f(2,1) = (21)(0.8) + (60)(0.6) = (d) for u = i = 1, 0, D u f(2,1) = (21)(1) + (60)(0) = 21 ( = f x (2,1) ). (e) for u = j = 0, 1, D u f(2,1) = (21)(0) + (60)(1) = 60 ( = f y (2,1) ). Te Gradient Vector You migt ave noticed tat te pattern D u f(x,y) = f x (x,y) a + f y (x,y) b for calculating te directional derivative can be viewed as te dot product of te vector f x (x,y), f y (x,y) wit te unit direction vector u = a, b. Tis vector f x (x,y), f y (x,y) sows up in a variety of contexts and is called te gradient of f. Definition of te Gradient Vector: Te gradient vector of f(x,y) is f(x,y) = f x (x,y), f y (x,y) = f x i + f y j. Te symbol " f " is read as "grad f" or "del f." Example 4: Calculate f(x,y) and f(0,1) for (a) f(x,y) = x + 5x 2 y 3 and (b) f(x,y) = y 2 + sin(x). Solution: (a) For f(x,y) = x + 5x 2 y 3, f x (x,y) = xy 3 and f y (x,y) = 15x 2 y 2 f(x,y) = xy 3, 15x 2 y 2 and f(0,1) = 1, 0. (b) For f(x,y) = y 2 + sin(x), f x (x,y) = cos(x) and f y (x,y) = 2y so f(x,y) = cos(x), 2y and f(0,1) = 1, 2. so Practice 3: Calculate f(x,y) and f(1,2) for (a) f (x, y) = e xy + 2x 3 y + y 2 and (b) f(x,y) = cos(2x+3y). Te directional derivative can now be written simply as te dot product of te gradient and te unit direction vector. D u f(x,y) = f(x,y). u Te gradient vector f(x,y) is useful for muc more tan a compact notation for directional derivatives. f(x,y) as a number of special features tat make it useful for investigating te beavior of surfaces.
4 13.5 Directional Derivatives and te Gradient Vector Contemporary Calculus 4 Tree very important properties of te gradient vector f(x,y) : (1) At a point (x,y), te maximum value of te directional derivative D u f(x,y) is f(x,y). (2) At a point (x,y), te maximum value of D u f(x,y) occurs wen u as te same direction as te gradient vector f(x,y). (At eac point (x,y), te gradient vector f(x,y) "points" in te direction of maximum increase for f(x,y).) (3) At a point (x,y), te gradient vector f(x,y) is normal (perpendicular) to te level curve tat goes troug te point (x,y). One of te beauties of matematics is tat sometimes a result like te powerful and non-obvious properties of te gradient can be proven in rater simple ways. Proof of (1) and (2): D u f(x,y) = f(x,y). u = f(x,y) u cos( θ ) θ is te angle between te vectors f(x,y) and u = f(x,y) cos( θ ) Te maximum value of cos( θ ) is 1 (wen θ = 0), so te maximum value of D u f(x,y) is f(x,y) and tis maximum occurs wen θ = 0, wen f(x,y) and u ave te same direction. Proof of (3): f is constant along te level curve at te point (x,y) so D u f(x,y) = 0 wen u is te direction of te level curve. But D u f(x,y) = f(x,y). u so f(x,y) is perpendicular to u, te direction of te level curve. Example 5: Find (a) te maximum rate of cange of f(x,y) = xe y at te point (2,0,) and (b) te direction in wic tis maximum rate of cange occurs. Solution: f x (x,y) = e y and f y (x,y) = xe y so f x (2,0) = e 0 = 1 and f y (2,0) = 2e 0 = 2. (a) Te maximum value of te rate of cange of f is D u f(x,y) = f(1,2) = 1, 2 = 5. (b) Tis maximum value occurs wen u is in te direction of f(1,2): u = 1/ 5, 2/ 5. Practice 4: Find (a) te maximum rate of cange of f (x, y) = 2x + 3y at te point (5, 2) and (b) te direction in wic tis maximum rate of cange occurs. Fig. 2 sows several level curves for a function z = f(x,y) and te
5 13.5 Directional Derivatives and te Gradient Vector Contemporary Calculus 5 gradient vector at several locations. (Note: te lengts of tese gradient vectors are exaggerated.) Practice 5: Sketc te gradient vector f(x,y) for te function f in Fig. 2 at A, B and C. A ball placed at (x,y) will begin to roll in te direction u = f(x,y). Cbing to a (local) maximum Property (2) is te foundation for using te gradient vector f(x,y) in iterative metods for finding local maximums of functions of several variables: (i) At any point (x,y) we take a sort "step" in te direction of f(x,y) tis takes us "upill" along te steepest route at tat point. (ii) Repeat step (i) until a (local) maximum is reaced. Property (3) provides an easy way to geometrically determine te direction of te gradient from te level curves of a surface. Fig. 3 sows level curves for a function z = f(x,y) and te upill gradient pats for several starting points. Practice 6: Sketc te upill gradient pat for te function f in Fig. 3 at starting points A, B and C. Beyond z = f(x,y) So far all of te examples ave dealt wit functions of two variables, z = f(x,y), but tat was just for convenience. Te definitions and ideas of gradient vectors and directional derivatives and teir properties extend in a natural way to functions of tree (or more) variables. Extensions to w = f(x,y,z) Definition: f(x,y,z) = f x (x,y,z), f y (x,y,z), f z (x,y,z) = f x i + f y j + f z k. Teorem: For a differentiable function f(x,y,z) and a unit direction vector u = a, b, c, D u f(x,y,z) = f(x,y,z). u Features: (1) Te maximum value of te directional derivative D u f(x,y,z) is f(x,y,z). (2) Te maximum value of D u f(x,y,z) occurs wen u as te same direction as f(x,y,z). (2) Te gradient vector f(x,y,z) is normal (perpendicular) to te level surface troug te point (x,y,z).
6 13.5 Directional Derivatives and te Gradient Vector Contemporary Calculus 6 Tese same ideas also extend very naturally to functions of more tan tree variables. For example, if x, y and z (all in meters) give te location in a room ten w=f(x,y,z) could be te temperature ( o C) at tat location. Ten instead of a level curve (in 2D), te points (x,y,z) were w=70 would be a level surface in 3D. D u f(x,y,z) would be te instantaneous rate of cange of temperature at location (x,y,z) in te direction u, and te units of D u f(x,y,z) would be o C/m. Te gradient vector f(x,y,z) would still give te maximum value of te directional derivative and would point in te direction of maximum rate of temperature increase. A eat-seeking flying bug in te room would follow a pat in te direction of te gradient at eac point. PROBLEMS In problems 1 4, find te directional derivative of f at te given point in te direction indicated by te given angle θ.
