Question

These are the functions in Q1 that the question in the image asks for

 

(a) f(x,y)=πx y .
(b) f(x,y)=cos(x2 +y2)

(c) f(x,y)=e2xcosy

2. You are at position (2, 1). For each function in Q1,
(a) What is the steepest direction?
i.e. write down the normalized gradient
Vf(2,1)
||V{(2,1)|| *
(b) Find the directions (unit direction vectors) u that cause you to "walk along the side of
the mountain without going up or down."
That is, find u that solves
u. Vf(2,1) = 0, subject to ||u|| = 1.
