This document provides steps to find the gradient of a function f(x, y, z) = (x-2)^2 + 3(y-1)^2 + (z+3)^2 at the point (1, 2, -1). It first defines the function, then calculates the partial derivatives f_x, f_y, f_z. Finally, it evaluates these derivatives at the given point (1, 2, -1) to find the gradient, which is the vector (2, 6, -6).
