8. Find a unit vector in the direction in which $f(x, y, z) = \csc^{-1}(\frac{yx}{3x-3z})$ increases most rapidly at P(4,2,1), and find the rate of change of $f$ at P in that direction.

Step 1
The gradient of a function is a vector that points in the direction of the greatest rate of increase of the function. It is calculated by taking the partial derivatives of the function with respect to each variable. Given f(x,y,z) = csc^(-1)(3x-3z), the gradient Show more…
