Find the gradient of f(x,y) = 6xy+ (x+y)/xy

OpenStudy (tiffany_rhodes):

The term xy in the denominator is throwing me off.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this the question :{6xy+ (x+y)}/xy or 6xy+ {(x+y)/xy}?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tiffany_rhodes ?

OpenStudy (tiffany_rhodes):

the latter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohkay then the expression becomes 6xy+(1/y)+(1/x). Just find the derivative of it.

OpenStudy (tiffany_rhodes):

Oh okay, so it just simplifies?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean the gradient. @tiffany_rhodes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. and it is easy to find the partial derivatives and you know

OpenStudy (tiffany_rhodes):

Yeah, thanks!
