    Directional Derivative Solved Question: Explanation Needed Please

    I get what you mean but how do you know that that is the directional vector? Like what is the method for finding out? If the question had the line 2(x−1) = y − 1 = -3(z−2) then how would the directional vector be different? Sorry but I'm really trying to understand this.

    Directional Derivative Solved Question: Explanation Needed Please

    1. Question: Find the directional derivatives of f(x, y, z) = x2+2xyz−yz2 at (1, 1, 2) in the directions parallel to the line (x−1)/2 = y − 1 = (z−2)/-3. 2. Solution: We have ∇f = (2x + 2yz)i + (2xz - z2)j + (2xy - 2yz)k. Therefore, ∇f(1, 1, 2) = 6i - 2k. The given line is...

    Why is -101 mod 13 = 3 and not 10

    This is a very basic question that I am having some difficulty grasping. When I do the long division for -101 / 13, my first step is -7 which comes out to -91 and so I have left -10. Shouldn't this be where the calculation stops? One of the thoughts I had was that as -13 is smaller...
