Answer

$\dfrac{4-3\sqrt 3}{10}$

Work Step by Step

Formula to calculate the directional derivative: $D_uf=f_x(x,y)a+f_y(x,y)b$ $D_uf=(e^x \sin y) \times \cos (\pi/3)+(e^x \sin y) \times \sin (\pi/3)$ This implies At $(0,\dfrac{\pi}{3})$ $D_uf (0,\dfrac{\pi}{3})=\dfrac{-6}{10} \times \dfrac{\sqrt 3}{2}+\dfrac{8}{10} \times \dfrac{1}{2}$ Hence, $D_uf (0,\dfrac{\pi}{3})=\dfrac{4-3\sqrt 3}{10}$
