Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

$f(x,y,z)=\simplify[std]{{a1}*x^{p1}*y^{p2}*z^{p3}+{b1}*x^{p4}*y^{p5}*z^{p6}+{c1}*({1-t}*sin({d1}*x^{p7}*y^{p8}*z^{p9})+{t}*cos({e1}*x^{p10}*y^{p11}*z^{p12}))}$ .

$\boldsymbol{\nabla}f=($ Gap 0. $,$ Gap 1. $,$ Gap 2. $)$ .

Advice

This question is simply an exercise in partial differentiation, using the fact that

$\boldsymbol{\nabla}f=\pmatrix{\frac{\partial f}{\partial x},\frac{\partial f}{\partial y},\frac{\partial f}{\partial z}}.$

Hence

$\boldsymbol{\nabla}f=\pmatrix{\simplify{{p1*a1}*x^{p1-1}*y^{p2}*z^{p3}+{p4*b1}*x^{p4-1}*y^{p5}*z^{p6}+{c1*d1*p7*(1-t)}*x^{p7-1}*y^{p8}*z^{p9}*cos({d1}*x^{p7}*y^{p8}*z^{p9})-{c1*e1*p10*t}*x^{p10-1}*y^{p11}*z^{p12}*sin({e1}*x^{p10}*y^{p11}*z^{p12})},\simplify{{p2*a1}*x^{p1}*y^{p2-1}*z^{p3}+{p5*b1}*x^{p4}*y^{p5-1}*z^{p6}+{c1*d1*p8*(1-t)}*x^{p7}*y^{p8-1}*z^{p9}*cos({d1}*x^{p7}*y^{p8}*z^{p9})-{c1*e1*p11*t}*x^{p10}*y^{p11-1}*z^{p12}*sin({e1}*x^{p10}*y^{p11}*z^{p12})},\simplify{{p3*a1}*x^{p1}*y^{p2}*z^{p3-1}+{p6*b1}*x^{p4}*y^{p5}*z^{p6-1}+{c1*d1*p9*(1-t)}*x^{p7}*y^{p8}*z^{p9-1}*cos({d1}*x^{p7}*y^{p8}*z^{p9})-{c1*e1*p12*t}*x^{p10}*y^{p11}*z^{p12-1}*sin({e1}*x^{p10}*y^{p11}*z^{p12})}}.$
