How do you find the gradient of a function at a given point?
2014年9月4日 · The gradient of a function is also known as the slope, and the slope (of a tangent) at a given point on a function is also known as the derivative. To find the gradient, take the derivative of the function with respect to x, then substitute the x-coordinate of the point of interest in for the x values in the derivative. For example, if you want to know the gradient of the …
Understanding the Gradient function - Calculus - Socratic
2014年10月9日 · The gradient function, or the idea of the gradient function, is vital for understanding calculus. When we're dealing with a linear graph, the gradient function is simply calculating rise/run. In the real world, graphs don't always behave in a linear fashion, so we need a more accurate representation of the gradient function.

Slope of a Curve at a Point - Calculus - Socratic
The slope of a curve at a point is equal to the slope of the tangent line at that point. it is also defined as the instantaneous change occurs in the graph with the very minor increment of x.
Find the gradient of the curve x=y+1/y at the point (2.5, 2). - Socratic
2018年7月23日 · The gradient is 4/3 at (2.5, 2) Remember that the gradient of a tangent line at any point of the curve is just dy/dx. First, differentiate x = y + 1/y using implicit differentiation. color(red)(d/dx)x = color(red)(d/dx)(y + 1/y) 1 = (1 - 1/y^2)dy/dx Notice that because y + 1/y was a function of x, by the chain rule, we must multiply by the ...
