Find the directional derivative of f at the given point in the direction indicated by the angle θ.
f(x, y) = y cos(xy), (0, 1), θ = π/6
fx=-y^2sin(xy)
fx(0 1)= -1^2sin(0*1) =0
fy= cos(xy)-sin(xy)y^2
fy= 1
Duf(0 1)= sin(pi/6)

Find the directional derivative of f(x, y) = sqrt(xy) at P(8, 8) in the direction from P to Q(11, 4).
PQ = <11-8,4-8>
PQ = <3,-4>
|PQ| = sqrt(9+16) = 5
u= <3/5,-4/5>
Duf(8, 8) = <y/2sqrt(xy),x/2sqrt(xy)>.u
Duf(8 8) = <8/2*8,1/2>.u
