Using the gradient vector to find the tangent plane equation

We previously learned how to find the gradient vector at a specific point. To find the equation of the tangent plane, we can just use the formula for the gradient vector where (x,y) is the point we’re interested in.

Finding gradient vectors for multivariable functions

The gradient vector formula gives a vector-valued function that describes the function’s gradient everywhere. If we want to find the gradient at a particular point, we just evaluate the gradient function at that point.
