We have been provided that f:Rn→R is C∞ . let us define the level set by
Mf:={x∈Rn:f(x)=c}
Let γ:(a,b)→Rn is smooth path such that t↦γ(t) , for t∈(a,b),a,b∈R which passes through Mf . let γ(θ)=p∈Rn for θ∈(a,b) and denote vγ(p)=γ′(θ) is velocity vector passes through p .
Thus, by chain rule we get,
dtd[f(γ(t))]=f′(γ(t))vγ(p)
Since, ∇f:U→Rn is smooth map from open set U to Rn such that
