Question #1:
Define the differentiability of functions of several variables and then use this to check the
differentiability of the function f ( x , y )=x 2 y at the point (1 , 2).
Question # 2:
Define the directional derivative of a point ⃑ X in Rn ∈the direction of ⃑ϕ .Then using this formula
find the directional derivative of f ( x , y )=x 2 y + y 3 in the direction of ϕ⃑ = (1 , 2 ) at the point (1,1).
