By applying concepts from vectorial calculus, we conclude that the gradient of the one variable function y = 2 · x³ - 7 · x + 4 when x = -2 is equal to 17.
A gradient is a generalization of the tangent curve used for multivariate function, that is, a function with more than one variable. In this case we have a function with one variable, which means that the gradient is equal to the slope:
[tex]\nabla f = \frac{df}{dx}[/tex] (1)
Now we proceed to calculate the gradient of the curve:
[tex]\nabla f = 6\cdot x^{2}-7[/tex]
[tex]\nabla f = 6\cdot (-2)^{2}-7[/tex]
[tex]\nabla f = 17[/tex]
By applying concepts from vectorial calculus, we conclude that the gradient of the one variable function y = 2 · x³ - 7 · x + 4 when x = -2 is equal to 17.
