In which direction does the function f (x, y ) = xy 2 + x 3 y increase the
fastest from the point (1,2)?

Joshva Raj (Lovely Professional University) Tutorial January 25, 2021 2/7
We need to find gradient.

~ (x, y )
Gradient → ∇.f (1)

~ = ~i ∂ + ~j ∂ + ~k ∂
∇ (2)
∂x ∂y ∂z
~ (x, y ) = (~i ∂ + ~j ∂ + ~k ∂ )(xy 2 + x 3 y )
∇.f (3)
∂x ∂y ∂z
∂ ∂ ∂
= ~i (xy 2 + x 3 y ) + ~j (xy 2 + x 3 y ) + ~k (xy 2 + x 3 y ) (4)
∂x ∂y ∂z

= (y 2 + 3x 2 y )~i + (2xy + x 3 )~j (5)

= 10~i + 5~j (6)

Prove that F = (3x 2 z + y 2 )~i + 2xy ~j + (x 3 − 2z)~k is irrotational.

Joshva Raj (Lovely Professional University) Tutorial January 25, 2021 4/7
A vector field F~ is irrotational if its Curl is zero.
To find Curl:
~ × F~
∇  ~i ~j ~k 
~ × F~ = 
∇ ∂ ∂ ∂ 
∂x ∂y ∂z
3x 2 z + y 2 2xy (x 3 − 2z)

∂ 3 ∂
= ~i[
(x − 2z) − 2xy ] (7)
∂y ∂z
∂ ∂
−~j[ (x 3 − 2z) − (3x 2 z + y 2 )]
∂x ∂z
∂ ∂
+~k[ 2xy − (3x 2 z + y 2 )] (8)
∂x ∂y
=0 (9)

Find the divergence character of the vector field
F = (3x 2 z + y 2 )~i + 2xy ~j + (x 3 − 2z)~k at (2,1,2)

Joshva Raj (Lovely Professional University) Tutorial January 25, 2021 6/7
To find divergence:
~ F~
∇.

~ F~ = ~i ∂ + ~j ∂ + ~k ∂ . (3x 2 z + y 2 )~i + 2xy ~j + (x 3 − 2z)~k


 
∇. (10)
∂x ∂y ∂z

∂ ∂ ∂ 3
= (3x 2 z + y 2 ) + 2xy + (x − 2z) (11)
∂x ∂y ∂z

= 6xz + 2x − 2 (12)
At 2,1,2, the value becomes 28.
