Answer

$\lt 2xye^{\frac{y}{z}}, x^{2}(e^{\frac{y}{z}}+\frac{e^{\frac{y}{z}}y}{z}), -\frac{x^{2}y^{2}e^{\frac{y}{z}}}{z^2}\gt$

Work Step by Step

Using the chain rule of differentiation we have: $f_{x}(x, y, z) = 2xye^{\frac{y}{z}}$ $f_{y}(x, y, z) = x^{2}(e^{\frac{y}{z}}+\frac{e^{\frac{y}{z}}y}{z})$ $f_{z}(x, y, z) = -\frac{x^{2}y^{2}e^{\frac{y}{z}}}{z^2}$ Therefore, the gradient vector of $f$ is: $\lt 2xye^{\frac{y}{z}}, x^{2}(e^{\frac{y}{z}}+\frac{e^{\frac{y}{z}}y}{z}), -\frac{x^{2}y^{2}e^{\frac{y}{z}}}{z^2}\gt$
