MA101 Tut-8

This document contains a tutorial sheet for a Calculus class covering functions of several variables. It includes 11 problems involving determining domains and limits of multivariable functions, finding level curves and surfaces, proving continuity using the epsilon-delta definition, and determining points of continuity. The problems cover a range of concepts for multivariable calculus including limits, domains, continuity, and level curves/surfaces of functions of two or more variables.

Tutorial Sheet - 8 Functions of several variables Date: February 1, 2022

1. For the given functions f (x, y), (a) find the function’s domain, (b) find the function’s range,
(c) find the function’s level curves, (d) find the boundary of the domain (e) Determine whether
the domain is an open region, a closed region, or neither, and (f) decide whether the domain is
bounded or unbounded:

y p
(a) f (x, y) = (b) f (x, y) = 9 − x2 − y 2 (c) f (x, y) = sin−1 (y − x)
x2

2. Find an equation for the level surface of the function f (x, y, z) = ln(x2 + y + z 2 ) passing through
(−1, 2, 1).

3. By considering different paths of approach, show that functions f (x, y) have no limit as (x, y) →
(0, 0):

2xy xy x
(a)f (x, y) = (b)f (x, y) = (c)f (x, y) = − p
x2 + y 2 |xy| x + y2

x2 y 2 tan−1 (xy) tan−1 (xy)


4. Does knowing that 1− < < 1, can you tell anything about lim ?
3 xy (x,y)→(0,0) xy

x2 y 2 √
5. Does knowing that 2|xy| − < 4 − 4 cos( 1xy) < 2|xy|, can you tell anything about
p 6
4 − 4 cos( |xy|)
lim ?
(x,y)→(0,0) |xy|

6. Find the limit if it exists or show that limit does not exist:

y2
(a) lim
(x,y)→(0,0) x2 + y 2

3x2 y
(b) lim
(x,y)→(0,0) x2 + y 2

2
(c) lim ey tan(xz)
(x,y,z)→(π,0,1/3)

7. Using ϵ − δ definition, prove that following functions f (x, y) are continuous at a point (0, 0):

x+y
(a)f (x, y) = x2 + y 2 (b)f (x, y) = (c)f (x, y) = tan2 x + tan2 y
x2 + 1

x2 − y 2
8. Where the function f (x, y) = is continuous?
x2 + y 2

9. Determine the set of points at which function is continuous:


 2
 x − y2
if (x, y) ̸= (0, 0)
(a)f (x, y) = x2 + y 2
0 if (x, y) = (0, 0)

 3x2 y

if (x, y) ̸= (0, 0)
(b)f (x, y) = x2 + y 2
0 if (x, y) = (0, 0)

10. Prove that there is a number δ > 0 such that if x2 +y 2 < δ 2 , then |x2 +y 2 +3xy+180xy 5 | < .
