Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To find out the potential functions of a given system.

Concept Introduction:

When it is possible to write the system as x˙ = -V then the function V is called a potential function for x˙ .

Importance of potential function is that, whenever it exists for the system, a closed orbit is not possible.

Calculate the gradient of f(x, y) = cos(x² + (x² + 3y) Vf= =
Consider a function f(x, y) at the point (3, 1). At that point the function has directional derivatives: in the direction (parallel to) (4, 1), and 3 V17 in the direction (parallel to) (3, 2). The gradient of f at the point (3, 1) is 13 ).
