Question

What is the the gradient vector of the following function?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Recall that

$\nabla_x f(x)=\begin{bmatrix} $\frac{\partial f}{\partial x_1}$\ \ $\frac{\partial f}{\partial x_2}$ \ \ $\frac{\partial f}{\partial x_3}$ \ \vdots \ $\frac{\partial f}{\partial x_n}$ \end{bmatrix}$

All we need to do is calculate 3 partial derivatives, and put them into this form.

$$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}$=18yz+100xz$

$$\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}$=18xz+30y$

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial $z}$=18xy+50x^2$

Put these into vector form to get

$\nabla_x f(x)=\begin{bmatrix} 18yz+100xz\ 18xz+30y \ $18xy+50x^2$ \end{bmatrix}$

Question

Find the gradient vector of the following function.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

To find the gradient vector, we need to find the partial derivatives in respect to x and y.

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial $x}$=2xy^2$+\frac{10}{x}$

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial $y}$=2yx^2$+\frac{10}{y}$

Then our final answer looks like

$\begin{bmatrix} $2xy^2$+\frac{10}{x}$\ \ $2yx^2$+\frac{10}{y}$ \end{bmatrix}$

Answer

The gradient of is the vector of partial first derivatives

$\left ( $f_{x}$, $f_{y }$ \right )$ . Find these derivatives:

$= $\frac{\partial }{\partial x}$ (x+2y+ 3) \cdot4 \cdot (x+2y+3) ^{3}$

$=1 \cdot4 \cdot (x+2y+3) ^{3}$

$=4 (x+2y+3) ^{3}$

$= $\frac{\partial }{\partial y}$ (x+2y+ 3) \cdot 4 \cdot (x+2y+3) ^{3}$

$=2 \cdot 4 \cdot (x+2y+3) ^{3}$

$=8(x+2y+3) ^{3}$

Evaluate and :

$= 4 \cdot $3^{3 }$$

$= 4 \cdot 27$

$= 8 \cdot $3^{3 }$$

$= 8 \cdot 27$
