Q.1 For the given function f (x, y) = ,
2π + sin−1 ( x+y

)
(c) Show that fxy and fyx are not continuous at (0, 0).
Show that f (x, y) is not differentiable at (0, 0), though it is continuous and possesses partial deriva-
tives at that point.
Q.7 Let f : R2 → R be a function defined by

x2 cos x − y 2 cos y
x ̸= 0, y ̸= 0
x2 cos 1 ,
x ̸= 0
x
f (x, y) =
−y 2 cos y1 ,
y ̸= 0
0, (x, y) = (0, 0).
Show that f (x, y) is differentiable at (0, 0), though both the first order partial derivatives, fx and
fy , at (0, 0) are discontinuous.
[Hints: Find out fx (0, 0) and fy (0, 0). Then show that the first order partial derivatives are con-
tinuous in a neighborhood containing the origin.]
