Functions of Several Variables Question 1:
Let S be the set \((\alpha, \beta) \in \mathbb{R}^2\) such that \(\frac{x^\alpha y^\beta}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} \rightarrow 0\) as \( \rm (x, y) \rightarrow(0,0) \) then S is contain in
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Functions of Several Variables Question 1 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
α = β = 1/4 and x = y then \(\frac{x^α y^β}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}\) = \(\frac{\sqrt{x.x}}{\sqrt{x^2+x^2}}\)= \(\frac{\sqrt x}{{x}\sqrt 2}\) → ∞ as x → 0
So (1) is false
Let x = rcosθ, y = rsinθ then
\(\lim_{(x, y)\to(0. 0)}\)\(\frac{x^{α} y^{β}}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}\) = \(\lim_{r\to0}\frac{r^{α}\cos^{α}\theta r^{β}\sin^{β}\theta}{r}\) = \(\lim_{r\to0}r^{α+β-1}\cos^{α}\theta \sin^{β}\theta\) = 0 if α + β - 1 > 0
i.e., if α + β > 1
(3) is false. Also by taking similar example as (1), we can show that (3) is false.
(2): \( \{(\alpha, \beta): \alpha>2, \beta>2\} \)
In this case α + β > 1 satisfies.
(2) is true.
(4): Let α = 1/2, β = 1/2
Then α + 4β > 1
But \(\lim_{(x, y)\to(0. 0)}\)\(\frac{x^{α} y^{β}}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}\) = \(\lim_{r\to0}r^{α+β-1}\cos^{α}\theta \sin^{β}\theta\) = \(\lim_{r\to0}r^{\frac12+\frac12-1}\cos^{\frac12}\theta \sin^{\frac12}\theta\) = \(\cos^{\frac12}\theta \sin^{\frac12}\theta\) ≠ 0
(4) is false.

Functions of Several Variables Question 2 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
it is common for many functions that are radially unbounded to also satisfy v(0) = 0,
especially in the field of machine learning and optimization, given that many loss/objective functions coincide with this property.
Functions of Several Variables Question 3:
Let \(f: R^2 \rightarrow R \) be defined by
\(f(x,y) = \begin{cases} \frac{xy^2}{x+y}, & \text {if } {x+y} \neq 0 \\ 0, & \text {if } x+y = 0 \end{cases} \)
Then the value of \(-5 (5 \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial y} -5\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y \partial x})\) at the point (0,0) is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Functions of Several Variables Question 3 Detailed Solution
Concept:
\(f_{xy} = \lim_{h \to 0} \lim_{k \to 0} \frac{F(h,k)}{hk} \)
and
\(f_{yx} = \lim_{k \to 0} \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{F(h,k)}{hk} \)
where F(h, k) = f(h, k) - f(h,0) - f(0,k) + f(0,0).
Explanation:
Since F(h, k) = f(h, k) - f(h,0) - f(0,k) + f(0,0)
Now, \(F(h, k) = \frac{hk^2}{h+ k} - 0 - 0 + 0 = \frac{hk^2}{h+k} \)
\(f_{xy} = \lim_{h \to 0} \lim_{k \to 0} \frac{hk^2}{hk(h+k)} \)
\(= \lim_{h \to 0} \lim_{k \to 0} \frac{k}{h+k} \)
= 0
\(f_{yx} = \lim_{k \to 0} \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{hk^2}{hk(h+k)} \)
\(= \lim_{k \to 0} \frac{k}{k} \)
= 1
Therefore, \(-5 (5 \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial y} -5\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y \partial x})\) = \(-5 (5f_{xy} - 5 f_{yx}) \) at (0,0) = -5(0 -5 ×1) = 25
Hence Option(3) is the correct answer.
Functions of Several Variables Question 4:
Which of the following is/are Not True?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Functions of Several Variables Question 4 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Arithmetic Mean \(\geq \) Geometric Mean
A.M \(\geq \) G.M
Explanation:
Option(1): \(\frac{(x+y)^k}{2^k} \leq max{(x^k , y^k) } \) for all x, y>0 and all k \(\geq \)1.
For k=1
\(\frac{(x+y)}{2} < max{(x , y) } \)
Let for k=t
\(\frac{(x+y)^t}{2^t} \leq max{(x^t , y^t) } \) holds.
For k = t+1
LHS: \(\frac{(x+y) ^{t+1}}{2 ^{t+1}} \) = \(\frac{(x+y)^t}{2^t} \) \(\cdot \)\(\frac{(x+y)}{2} \) \(\leq max{(x^t , y^t) } \)\(\cdot \)\(max(x,y) \) \(\leq \) \(max{(x^{t +1}, y^{t+1} )} \) =RHS
Hence : \(\frac{(x+y)^k}{2^k} \leq max{(x^k , y^k) } \) for all x, y>0 is true by Principal of mathematical induction.
so, Option(1) is correct.
Option(2):
\(\sin{ \frac{x+y}{2}} \leq \frac{(\sin x+\sin y)}{2} \) for all x, y>0
this does not hold for x= \(\frac{\pi}{6} \) and y= \(\frac{\pi}{3} \).
LHS: sin \(\pi \) = 0 & RHS: \(\sqrt{3} +1 \)
So, Option (2) is not correct.
Option(3):
Arithmetic mean for \(e^{x} \) and \(e^y \)= \(\frac{e^x + e^y }{2} \)
Geometric mean for \(e^{x} \) and \(e^y \)= \(\sqrt {e^x \cdot e^y } \)
since A.M \(\geq \) G.M
so, \(\frac{e^x + e^y }{2} \)\(\geq \)\(\sqrt {e^x \cdot e^y } \)
Option(3) is correct.
Option(4):
Arithmetic mean for \(\log x \) and \(\log y\) = \(\frac{\log x+\log y}{2} \)
Geometric mean for \(\log x \) and \(\log y\) = \(\sqrt{\log x \cdot \log y} \) = \(\frac{1}{2} {\log( x + y)} \)
since A.M \(\geq \) G.M
\(\frac{\log x+\log y}{2} \)\(\geq \)\(\frac{1}{2} {\log( x + y)} \)
Option(4) is not correct.
Hence Option(2) and Option(4) are Answers.
Functions of Several Variables Question 5:
Consider the function f : ℝ2 → ℝ defined by
\(f(x, y)= \begin{cases}(x+y)^2 \cos \frac{1}{x+y} & \text { if } x \neq y \\ 0 & \text { if } x=y.\end{cases}\)
Which of the following statements are true?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Functions of Several Variables Question 5 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
\(f(x, y)= \begin{cases}(x+y)^2 \cos \frac{1}{x+y} & \text { if } x \neq y \\ 0 & \text { if } x=y.\end{cases}\)
(1): fx(0, 0) = \(\lim_{h\to0}{f(h,0)-f(0,0)\over h}\) = \(\lim_{h\to0}{h^2\cos\frac 1h-0\over h}\) = \(\lim_{h\to0}h\cos\frac 1h\) = 0
So, the partial derivative fx exist at (0, 0).
(1) is true
(3): fy(0, 0) = \(\lim_{k\to0}{f(0,k)-f(0,0)\over k}\) = \(\lim_{k\to0}{k^2\cos\frac 1k-0\over k}\) = \(\lim_{k\to0}k\cos\frac 1k\) = 0
So, the partial derivative fy exist at (0, 0).
(3) is true.
(3): fx(x, y) = \(\begin{cases}2(x+y) \cos \frac{1}{x+y} -(x+y)^2\sin{1\over x+y}\left(-1\over(x+y)^2\right)& \text { if } x \neq y \\ 0 & \text { if } x=y.\end{cases}\)
= \(\begin{cases}2(x+y) \cos \frac{1}{x+y} +\sin{1\over x+y}& \text { if } x \neq y \\ 0 & \text { if } x=y.\end{cases}\)
Now, \(\lim_{(x, y)\to(0, 0)}f_x(x, y)\) = \(\lim_{(x, y)\to(0, 0)}\left(2(x+y) \cos \frac{1}{x+y} +\sin{1\over x+y}\right)\) does not exist as \(\lim_{(x, y)\to(0, 0)}\sin{1\over x+y}\) does not exist
Hence the partial derivative fx is not continuous at (0, 0).
(2) is false
(4): fy(x, y) = \(\begin{cases}2(x+y) \cos \frac{1}{x+y} -(x+y)^2\sin{1\over x+y}\left(-1\over(x+y)^2\right)& \text { if } x \neq y \\ 0 & \text { if } x=y.\end{cases}\)
= \(\begin{cases}2(x+y) \cos \frac{1}{x+y} +\sin{1\over x+y}& \text { if } x \neq y \\ 0 & \text { if } x=y.\end{cases}\)
Now, \(\lim_{(x, y)\to(0, 0)}f_y(x, y)\) = \(\lim_{(x, y)\to(0, 0)}\left(2(x+y) \cos \frac{1}{x+y} +\sin{1\over x+y}\right)\) does not exist as \(\lim_{(x, y)\to(0, 0)}\sin{1\over x+y}\) does not exist
Hence the partial derivative fy is not continuous at (0, 0).
(4) is false.
Functions of Several Variables Question 6:
Consider the functions \(f(x, y) = x^2 + y^2 \) and g(x, y) = x + y defined on\( \mathbb{R}^2 \). Suppose we are restricted to the constraint g(x, y) = 1 .
Which of the following statements is true?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Functions of Several Variables Question 6 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
The constraint g(x, y) = 1 represents the line x + y = 1 .
Substituting y = 1 x into \(f(x, y) = x^2 + y^2 \) , we get:
\(f(x, 1 - x) = x^2 + (1 - x)^2 = 2x^2 - 2x + 1. \)
To find the extrema,
we compute the derivative of f(x, 1 x) :
\(\frac{d}{dx} \left( 2x^2 - 2x + 1 \right) = 4x - 2. \)
Setting the derivative to zero:
\(4x - 2 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = \frac{1}{2}. \)
Substituting \(x = \frac{1}{2} \) into y = 1 x , then \( y = \frac{1}{2} \) .
The minimum value of f(x, y) occurs at (x, y) = \(\left( \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2} \right) \) ,
Determine if This is a Minimum or Maximum:
the second derivative of f(x, 1 x) :
\(\frac{d^2}{dx^2} \left( 2x^2 - 2x + 1 \right) = 4 \)
Since the second derivative is positive.
The function f(x, 1 x) has a local minimum at x =\( \frac{1}{2} \), and hence a global minimum on the constraint line x + y = 1 .
Substitute x = \(\frac{1}{2} \) into f(x, 1 x) to find the minimum value:
\(f\left( \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2} \right) = 2\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^2 - 2\left( \frac{1}{2} \right) + 1 = \frac{1}{2} - 1 + 1 = \frac{1}{2} \)
Thus, the minimum value of f(x, y) subject to the constraint g(x, y) = 1 is \(\frac{1}{2} \) ,
and it occurs at\( \left( \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2} \right) \).
Check the Behavior at Boundary Points
We now check the behavior of f(x, y) at some boundary points where g(x, y) = 1 .
When x = 1 , we get y = 0 , so:
f(1, 0) = \(1^2 + 0^2 \) = 1
When x = 0 , we get y = 1 , so:
f(0, 1) = \( 0^2 + 1^2 \) = 1
These values are larger than the minimum value of \(\frac{1}{2} \) at \(\left( \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2} \right) \) ,
confirming that the minimum occurs at \( \left( \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2} \right) \) .
⇒ The function f has global extreme values at the points where \(x = \pm 1, y = 0 \) or \(x = 0, y = \pm 1 \) .
Hence Option(2) is the correct Answer.
Functions of Several Variables Question 7:
Consider the function f : ℝ2 → ℝ defined by
\(f(x, y)= \begin{cases}(x-y)^2 \cos \frac{1}{x-y} & \text { if } x \neq y \\ 0 & \text { if } x=y.\end{cases}\)
Which of the following statement is true?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Functions of Several Variables Question 7 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
\(f(x, y)= \begin{cases}(x-y)^2 \cos \frac{1}{x-y} & \text { if } x \neq y \\ 0 & \text { if } x=y.\end{cases}\)
(1) & (2): The function f(x, y) is continuous if \(\lim_{(x, y)\to(0, 0)}f(x, y)\) = f(0, 0)
\(\lim_{(x, y)\to(0, 0)}f(x, y)\) = \(\lim_{(x, y)\to(0, 0)}(x-y)^2\cos{1\over x-y}\)
= \(\lim_{r\to0}r^2(\cosθ-\sinθ)^2\cos{1\over r(\cosθ-\sinθ)}\) = 0 = f(0, 0)
(putting x = r cosθ, y = r sinθ )
Hence f(x, y) is continuous at (0, 0)
(1) is correct and (2) is incorrect.
(3) & (4): fx(0, 0) = \(\lim_{h\to0}{f(h,0)-f(0,0)\over h}\) = \(\lim_{h\to0}{h^2\cos\frac 1h-0\over h}\) = \(\lim_{h\to0}h\cos\frac 1h\) = 0
So, the partial derivative fx exist at (0, 0).
(3) & (4) both are false.
Functions of Several Variables Question 8:
Define f: ℝ2 → ℝ by \(\rm f(x, y)=\left\{\begin{matrix}\frac{y\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}{x}& if\ x\ne 0\\\ 0, &if\ x=0\end{matrix}\right.\)
Which of the following statements are true?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Functions of Several Variables Question 8 Detailed Solution
Concept:
\(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(0, 0) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(h, 0) - f(0, 0)}{h}\)
and \(\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}(0, 0) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(0, h) - f(0, 0)}{h}\)
Explanation:
We are given the function \(f: \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}\) , defined as
\(f(x, y) = \begin{cases} \frac{y \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}}{x}, & \text{if } x \neq 0 \\ 0, & \text{if } x = 0 \end{cases}\)
We are tasked with determining the truth of various statements about the
partial derivatives, continuity, and differentiability of this function at (0, 0) .
Option 1: To check whether the partial derivative with respect to x exists at (0, 0) ,
we calculate it as follows
\(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(0, 0) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(h, 0) - f(0, 0)}{h}\)
When y = 0 , the function reduces to
\(f(x, 0) = 0 \quad \text{for all} \, x \neq 0\)
Thus, \(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(0, 0) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{0 - 0}{h} = 0\)
Hence, \(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(0, 0)\) exists and is equal to 0.
Option 2: We calculate the partial derivative with respect to y at (0, 0)
using the limit definition:
\(\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}(0, 0) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(0, h) - f(0, 0)}{h}\)
When x = 0 , the function is defined as f(0, y) = 0 . Thus,
\(\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}(0, 0) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{0 - 0}{h} = 0\)
Therefore, \(\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}(0, 0)\) also exists and is equal to 0.
Option 3: Along x = my2
\(\lim_{(x, y)\to(0, 0)}\frac{y \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}}{x}\) = \(\lim_{y\to0}\frac{y \sqrt{m^2y^4 + y^2}}{my^2}\)
= \(\lim_{y\to0}\frac{y^2 \sqrt{m^2y^2 + 1}}{my^2}\) = 1/m which is different for different value of m
Thus, f is not continuous at (0, 0) .
Option 4: A function is differentiable at (0, 0) if it is continuous and its partial derivatives exist and
are continuous in a neighborhood of (0, 0) . Since the function is not continuous at (0, 0) , it cannot
be differentiable there. Thus, f is not differentiable at (0, 0) .
Hence correct options are 1), 2), 3) and 4).
Functions of Several Variables Question 9:
Consider the function f : ℝ2 → ℝ defined by
\(f(x, y)= \begin{cases}(x-y)^2 \sin \frac{1}{x-y} & \text { if } x \neq y \\ 0 & \text { if } x=y.\end{cases}\)
Which of the following statements are true?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Functions of Several Variables Question 9 Detailed Solution
Concept:
A function of two variable f(x, y) is differentiable at (0, 0) if \(\lim_{h\to0}\frac{||r(h, k)||}{||(h, k)||}\) = 0 where r(h, k) = f((0, 0)+(h, k))- f(0, 0) - \(\left({\partial f\over \partial x}(0, 0)\quad {\partial f\over \partial y}(0, 0)\right)\begin{pmatrix}h\\k\end{pmatrix}\)
Explanation:
\(f(x, y)= \begin{cases}(x-y)^2 \sin \frac{1}{x-y} & \text { if } x \neq y \\ 0 & \text { if } x=y.\end{cases}\)
(1): The function f(x, y) is continuous if \(\lim_{(x, y)\to(0, 0)}f(x, y)\) = f(0, 0)
\(\lim_{(x, y)\to(0, 0)}f(x, y)\) = \(\lim_{(x, y)\to(0, 0)}(x-y)^2\sin{1\over x-y}\)
= \(\lim_{r\to0}r^2(\cosθ-\sinθ)^2\sin{1\over r(\cosθ-\sinθ)}\) = 0 = f(0, 0)
(putting x = r cosθ, y = r sinθ )
Hence f(x, y) is continuous at (0, 0)
(1) is correct
(2): fx(0, 0) = \(\lim_{h\to0}{f(h,0)-f(0,0)\over h}\) = \(\lim_{h\to0}{h^2\sin\frac 1h-0\over h}\) = \(\lim_{h\to0}h\sin\frac 1h\) = 0
So, the partial derivative fx exist at (0, 0).
(2) is false
(3): fx(x, y) = \(\begin{cases}2(x-y) \sin \frac{1}{x-y} +(x-y)^2\cos{1\over x-y}\left(-1\over(x-y)^2\right)& \text { if } x \neq y \\ 0 & \text { if } x=y.\end{cases}\)
= \(\begin{cases}2(x-y) \sin \frac{1}{x-y} -\cos{1\over x-y}& \text { if } x \neq y \\ 0 & \text { if } x=y.\end{cases}\)
Now, \(\lim_{(x, y)\to(0, 0)}f_x(x, y)\) = \(\lim_{(x, y)\to(0, 0)}\left(2(x-y) \sin \frac{1}{x-y} -\cos{1\over x-y}\right)\) does not exist as \(\lim_{(x, y)\to(0, 0)}\cos{1\over x-y}\) does not exist
Hence the partial derivative fx is not continuous at (0, 0).
(3) is false
(4): fy(0, 0) = \(\lim_{k\to0}{f(0,k)-f(0,0)\over k}\) = \(\lim_{k\to0}{k^2\sin\frac 1k-0\over k}\) = \(\lim_{k\to0}k\sin\frac 1k\) = 0
\(\left({\partial f\over \partial x}(0, 0)\quad {\partial f\over \partial y}(0, 0)\right)\begin{pmatrix}h\\k\end{pmatrix}\) = \(\left(0\quad 0\right)\begin{pmatrix}h\\k\end{pmatrix}\) = 0
So, r(h, k) = f((0, 0)+(h, k))- f(0, 0) - \(\left({\partial f\over \partial x}(0, 0)\quad {\partial f\over \partial y}(0, 0)\right)\begin{pmatrix}h\\k\end{pmatrix}\)
= f(h, k) - 0 - 0 = \((h-k)^2\sin{1\over h-k}\)
Now, \(\lim_{h\to0}\frac{||r(h, k)||}{||(h, k)||}\) = \(\lim_{(h, k)\to(0,0)}{(h-k)^2\sin{1\over h-k}\over \sqrt{h^2+k^2}}\)
Putting h = r cosθ, k = r sinθ we get
= \(\lim_{r\to0}{r^2(\cosθ-\sinθ)^2\sin{1\over r(\cosθ-\sinθ)}\over r}\) = 0
Hence f is differentiable at (0, 0).
(4) is correct
Functions of Several Variables Question 10:
Let f : ℝ2 → ℝ2 be defined by f(x, y) = (ex cos(y), ex sin(y)). Then the number of points in ℝ2 that do NOT lie in the range of f is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Functions of Several Variables Question 10 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The range of a function f(x, y) refers to all the possible values f(x, y) could be
Solution:
Here given f : ℝ2 → ℝ2 and f(x,y) = (ex cos(y), ex sin(y))
We know that the range of cos y and sin y lie between -1 to 1
and range of ex is (0, ∞)
Hence the range of given function f(x,y) is ℝ2 \ (0,0)
The point in ℝ2 that does NOT lie in the range of f is (0,0)
number of such points is 1
(2) is correct
