Original question and givens

Use nonzero Euclidean gradient=[8, -8] at a differentiable point. Give (gradient, negative_gradient, directional_inner_product, gradient_norm_squared, strictly_negative, first_order_scope).

  • G001 — Use nonzero Euclidean gradient=[8, -8] at a differentiable point. Give (gradient, negative_gradient, directional_inner_product, gradient_norm_squared, strictly_negative, first_order_scope).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.
