2 114 Chapter 2 Differentiation in Several Variables 2.2 Exercises 0 < <δ i, then f i (x) L i <ɛ/ m. Set δ = min(δ 1,...,δ m ). Then if x X and 0 < <δ, we see that (6) implies ɛ 2 f(x) L < + ɛ2 m m = m ɛ2 m = ɛ. Thus, lim x a f(x) = L. Proof of Theorem 2.8 We must show that the composite function g f is continuous at every point a X. Ifa is an isolated point of X, there is nothing to show. Otherwise, we must show that lim x a (g f)(x) = (g f)(a). Given any ɛ>0, continuity of g at f(a) implies that we can find some γ>0 such that if y range f and 0 < y f(a) <γ then g(y) g(f(a)) <ɛ. Since f is continuous at a, we can find some δ>0such that if x X and 0 < <δ, then f(x) f(a) <γ. Therefore, if x X and 0 < <δ, then g(f(x)) g(f(a)) <ɛ. In Exercises 1 6, determine whether the given set is open or closed (or neither). 1. {(x, y) R 2 1 < x 2 + y 2 < 4} 2. {(x, y) R 2 1 x 2 + y 2 4} 3. {(x, y) R 2 1 x 2 + y 2 < 4} 4. {(x, y, z) R 3 1 x 2 + y 2 + z 2 4} 5. {(x, y) R 2 1 < x < 1} {(x, y) R 2 x = 2} 6. {(x, y, z) R 3 1 < x 2 + y 2 < 4} Evaluate the limits in Exercises 7 21, or explain why the limit fails to exist. 7. lim (x,y,z) (0,0,0) x 2 + 2xy + yz + z y 8. lim (x,y) (0,0) x 2 + y 2 (x + y) 2 9. lim e x e y 10. lim (x,y) (0,0) x + y + 2 2x 2 + y lim 2x 2 + y lim (x,y) ( 1,2) x 2 + y 2 x 2 + 2xy + y lim (x,y) (0,0) x + y xy 14. lim x 4 y lim x lim x 2 xy 17. lim (x,y) (0,0),x y x y x 2 y 2 4x lim (x,y) (2,0) x 2 + y 2 4x lim (x,y,z) (0, e xz cos y 2 x π,1) 2x 2 + 3y 2 + z lim (x,y,z) (0,0,0) x 2 + y 2 + z 2 xy xz + yz 21. lim (x,y,z) (0,0,0) x 2 + y 2 + z 2 sin θ 22.

In Exercises 24 27, (a) use a computer to graph z = f (x, y); (b) use your graph in part (a) to give a geometric discussion as to whether lim (x,y) (0,0) f (x, y) exists; (c) give an analytic (i.e., nongraphical) argument for your answer in part (b).

As x a, each term G i / 0, by definition of G i in equation (14) and the differentiability of the component functions f i of f. Hence, equation (13) holds and f is differentiable at a. (To see that (G G2 m )1/2 G G m, note that ( G G m ) 2 = G G m G 1 G G 1 G G m 1 G m G G m 2. Then, taking square roots provides the inequality.) Proof of Theorem 3.11 In the final paragraph of the proof of Theorem 3.10, we showed that f(x) f(a) Df(a)(x a) G 1 + G G m, where G i = f i (x) f i (a) Df i (a)(x a) as in equation (14). From this, it follows immediately that differentiability of the component functions f 1,..., f m at a implies differentiability of f at a. Conversely, for i = 1,...,m, f(x) f(a) Df(a)(x a) = (G 1, G 2,...,G m ) G i. Hence, differentiability of f at a forces differentiability of each component function. 2.3 Exercises In Exercises 1 9, calculate f/ x and f/ y. 1. f (x, y) = xy 2 + x 2 y 2. f (x, y) = e x2 +y 2 3. f (x, y) = sin xy + cos xy 4. f (x, y) = x 3 y x 2 + 3y 4 5. f (x, y) = x 2 y 2 x 2 + y 2 6. f (x, y) = ln (x 2 + y 2 ) 7. f (x, y) = cos x 3 y 8.
