Solution

The gradient of a scalar field ฯ•(x,y,z) is a vector field that points in the direction of the greatest rate of increase of ฯ•, and whose magnitude is the greatest rate of change.

The gradient of ฯ• is given by the vector (โˆ‚ฯ•/โˆ‚x, โˆ‚ฯ•/โˆ‚y, โˆ‚ฯ•/โˆ‚z).

Let's compute these partial derivatives:

โˆ‚ฯ•/โˆ‚x = โˆ‚/โˆ‚x [3x^2y - y^3z^2] = 6xy โˆ‚ฯ•/โˆ‚y = โˆ‚/โˆ‚y [3x^2y - y^3z^2] = 3x^2 - 3y^2z^2 โˆ‚ฯ•/โˆ‚z = โˆ‚/โˆ‚z [3x^2y - y^3z^2] = -2y^3z

Now, let's evaluate these at the point (1,1,0):

โˆ‚ฯ•/โˆ‚x (1,1,0) = 611 = 6 โˆ‚ฯ•/โˆ‚y (1,1,0) = 31^2 - 31^20^2 = 3 โˆ‚ฯ•/โˆ‚z (1,1,0) = -21^3*0 = 0

So, the gradient of ฯ• at (1,1,0) is (6,3,0), which corresponds to 6i^ + 3j^ + 0k^. Therefore, the correct answer is c. 6i^ + 3j^ + 0k^.
