Cos(x2 − y) y 2y sin xy cos xy 12 =− √ . 5 5 x y = √ y x2 +y 2 . 7 This is simply a matter of piling up the partial derivative vectors side by side: − sin x 0 (a) Df x = 2xy x2 + 2y y 2 2x cos(x − y) − cos(x2 − y) √ x √ y (b) Df x y = x2 +y 2 y 2y sin xy cos xy x2 +y 2 . 8 (a) D1 f1 = 2x cos(x2 + y), D2 f1 = cos(x2 + y), D2 f2 = xexy (b) 3 × 2. 10 (a) Since f is linear, f (a + v) = f (a) + f (v). But since f is linear, f (v) = [Df (a)]v: lim h→0 1 f (a + h) − f (a) − f (h) = 0, |h| so [Df (a)]h = f (h).
Similarly, for all γ > 0 there exists δ > 0 such that when |x − x0 | < δ, and x ∈ U , then |f (x) − a| < u(γ). Since u(γ) < , this implies |f (x) − a| < u( ). In the first printing, the problem is misstated, and the converse is wrong; we must assume u(t) > 0 when t > 0. With that hypothesis the converse is easy: Given > 0, we have u( ) > 0, so our hypothesis is that there exists δ > 0 such that |x − x0 | < δ =⇒ |f (x) − a| < u( ). 13 If every convergent sequence in C converges to a point in C then ∀ points a such that ∀n ∃ a point bn ∈ C such that |bn − a| ≤ n1 , the sequence bn converges to a so a ∈ C.
D) When 0 < x2 + 2y 2 < 1, 0 > (x2 + y 2 ) ln(x2 + 2y 2 ) ≥ (x2 + y 2 ) ln 2(x2 + y 2 ) = (x2 + y 2 ) ln(x2 + y 2 ) + (x2 + y 2 ) ln 2. The term (x2 + y 2 ) ln(x2 + y 2 ) tends to 0 using Equation (1). The second term, (x2 + y 2 ) ln 2, obviously tends to 0. So if we choose f 00 = 0, f is continuous. (e) The function is not continuous near the origin. Since ln 0 is undefined, the diagonal x+y = 0 is not part of the function’s domain of definition. , the point −x + xe−1/x3 . At this point we have x2 + −x + e−1/x 3 2 ln x − x + e−1/x 3 ≥ x2 1 1 , = 3 x |x| which tends to infinity as x tends to 0.
