Find the gradient of the function $g(x,y) = \frac{2y}{x^2+2}$ at the point $(1, 6)$. Then sketch the gradient together with the level curve that passes through the point. First find the gradient vector at $(1, 6)$. $\nabla g(1, 6) = \boxed{}i + \boxed{}j$ (Simplify your answers.)

Step 1
The gradient of a function g(x,y) is given by: ∇g(x,y) = (∂g/∂x)i + (∂g/∂y)j where i and j are the unit vectors in the x and y directions, respectively. Show more…
