functions:
(a) w = x2 + y 2 , x = cos t + sin t, y = cos t − sin t; t = 0,

(b) w = z − sin (xy), x = t, y = ln t z = et−1 ; t = 1.

(ii) u = eqr sin−1 p, p = sin x, q = z 2 ln y, r = 1/z; (x, y, z) = (π/4, 1/2, −1/2).

7. Find the directional derivative of the function f (x, y, z) = x2 − y 2 + 2z 2 at the point P (1, 2, 3) in
the direction of the line PQ where Q has coordinates (5, 0, 4). In what direction it will be maximum
and what is its value?
8. Find the directional derivative of the function
(i) f (x, y, z) = xy 2 + yz 3 at (2, −1, 1) in the direction of i + 2j + 2k.
(ii) f (x, y, z) = x2 + y 2 + 4xyz at (1, −2, 2) in the direction of 2i − 2j + k.

at (1, 1, 2) desires to fly in such a direction that it will get warm as soon as possible. In what direction
should it fly?
10. Find the directions in which the functions increases and decrease most rapidly at P0 . Then find the
derivatives of the functions in these directions.
(i) f (x, y) = x2 y + exy sin y, P0 (1, 0); (ii) f (x, y, z) = ln xy + ln yz + ln zx, P0 (1, 1, 1);
(iii) f (x, y, z) = (x/y) − yz, P0 (4, 1, 1); (iv) f (x, y, z) = ln(x2 + y 2 − 1) + y + 6z, P0 (1, 1, 0).
