Calculus-
Let this be a three-dimensional scalar field
f(x, y, z) = (1)/(x2 + y2 + z2) - z
Determine the gradient grad f and the value of |grad f| in spherical coordinates.
Note - The negative "z" is not part of the fraction 1/(x2 + y2 + z2). It is indeed separate.
So the question would read: fraction -z
Where the fraction is 1/(x2 + y2 + z2).
