quiz # 2
Exercise 1 (answer on page 1 of the booklet)
a) Find the domain and the range of the function f(x, y) = ln
(
1
e − x2 − y2
)
; determine if
the domain open or closed, also determine if the domain is bounded or unbounded; find the
equation of the level curve of f that passes through the point (1, 0)
b) Find dy
dx at P(0, 1) if the equation 1−x−y2−sin(xy) = 0 define y as differentiable function
of x
Exercise 2 (answer on page 2 of the booklet)
a) Can the function f(x, y) =
y2 sin x
2x2 + 3y2 be extended by continuity at (0, 0) ?
b) Use the two path test to show that f(x, y) =
xy − x
x2 + 2(y − 1)2 has no limit at (0, 1)
Exercise 3 (answer on pages 3 and 4 of the booklet)
Suppose that the derivative of the function f(x, y, z) at P(1, 1, 1) is greatest in the direction
of ⃗u = 6⃗i − 3⃗j + 3⃗k, and that in this direction the value of the derivative is

6. Also suppose
that
f(3, 0, 0) = 1 ,
