Gradient : derive deriver diff grad
derive (or diff or grad) takes two arguments : an
expression F of n real variables and a vector of these variable names.
derive returns the gradient of F,
where the gradient is the vector of all partial derivatives,
for exmple in dimension n = 3
Example
Find the gradient of
F(x, y, z) = 2x2y - xz3.
Input :
derive(2*x^
2*y-x*z^
3,[x,y,z])
Or :
diff(2*x^
2*y-x*z^
3,[x,y,z])
Or :
grad(2*x^
2*y-x*z^
3,[x,y,z])
Output :
[2*2*x*y-z^
3,2*x^
2,-(x*3*z^
2)]
Output after simplification with normal(ans()) :
[4*x*y-z^
3,2*x^
2,-(3*x*z^
2)]
To find the critical points of
F(x, y, z) = 2x2y - xz3, input :
solve(derive(2*x^
2*y-x*z^
3,[x,y,z]),[x,y,z])
Output :
[[0,y,0]]
