Problem Sheet 1

This document contains 7 practice problems related to functions of several variables in engineering mathematics: 1. The problems ask to analyze properties of several functions such as their domain, range, level curves, and whether the domain is open, closed, bounded or unbounded. 2. Find equations for level curves/surfaces that pass through given points for several functions of two and three variables. 3. Use the Sandwich Theorem to deduce the limit of y sin(1/x) as (x,y) approaches (0,0). 4. Find several multivariable limits or show they do not exist. 5. Identify the points where given multivariable functions are continuous.

1. For the folowing functions: (a) find the function’s domain, (b) find the function’s range,
(c) describe the function’s level curves, (d) find the boundary of the function’s domain,
(e) determine if the domain is an open region, a closed region, or neither, and (f ) decide
if the domain is bounded or unbounded.
(a) f (x, y) = ln(x2 + y 2 )

(b) f (x, y) = e−(x
(c) f (x, y) = 4x2 + y 2 + 1
(d) f (x, y) = sin−1 (y − x)

3. The Sandwich Theorem for functions of two variables states that if g(x, y) ≤ f (x, y) ≤
h(x, y) for all (x, y) ̸= (x0 , y0 ) in a disk centered at (x0 , y0 ) and if g and h have the same
finite limit L as (x, y) → (x0 , y0 ), then

lim f (x, y) = f (x0 , y0 ).


(x,y)→(x0 ,y0 )

Use it to deduce that


lim y sin (1/x) = 0.
(x,y)→(0,0)

4. Find the limit, if it exists, or show that the limit does not exist.
