Answer

$y^2 \cos(xy)i + (\sin(xy) + xy\cos(xy))j$

Work Step by Step

Get the derivative of $f(x,y)$ with respect to $x$ which is: $f_x(x,y) = y^2\sin(xy)$ Get the derivative of $f(x,y)$ with respect to $y$ which is: $f_y(x,y) = \sin(xy) + xy\cos(xy)$ Gradient of $f(x, y)$ is: $\nabla f(x, y) = f_x(x,y)i + f_y(x,y)j$ $= y^2 \cos(xy)i + (\sin(xy) + xy\cos(xy))j$
