Example Question #1251 : Partial Derivatives

$\begin{align*}&\text{Find }D_{\overrightarrow{u}}(x,y,z)\text{ where }f(x,y,z)=-y^{2}z^{4}cos(x)\\&\text{In the direction of }\overrightarrow{v}=(17,0,3).\end{align*}$

Possible Answers:

${17y^{2}z^{4}sin(x) - 12y^{2}z^{3}cos(x)}$

${0.98y^{2}z^{4}sin(x) - 0.68y^{2}z^{3}cos(x)}$

${17.3y^{2}z^{4}sin(x) - 69y^{2}z^{3}cos(x) - 34.5yz^{4}cos(x)}$

${138yz^{3}sin(x)}$

Correct answer:

${0.98y^{2}z^{4}sin(x) - 0.68y^{2}z^{3}cos(x)}$

Explanation:

$\begin{align*}&\text{To find }D_{\overrightarrow{u}}(x,y,z)\\&\text{First make sure that }\overrightarrow{v}\\&\text{is in unit vector form.
