Study Notes
Functions of Several Variables
- Definition and Examples: Rn represents an n-tuple of real numbers (x1, x2, ..., xn). A function of n real variables is an application f from a subset D of Rn to values in R. This is written as f: D → R(x1, x2, ..., xn) → f(x1, x2, ..., xn). (Alternative notation exists)
Two-variable Functions
-
Domain of Definition: The domain of a function of two variables f(x, y), denoted as Df, is the set of all (x, y) pairs in the plane where the function produces real values.
-
Determining the Domain: To find the domain: (1) Write the initial condition, (2) Determine boundaries, and (3) Graphically represent and identify regions contributing to Df using points within those regions.
Limits and Continuity
-
Limit at (0,0): To find the limit of a function as (x, y) approaches (0,0), replace x and y with 0 initially. If an indeterminate form results, convert to polar coordinates (x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ).
-
Limit Existence: A limit exists if the result doesn't depend on the direction (θ) and is finite. Otherwise, it does not exist.
-
Limit at (x₀, y₀): For a limit at a point (x₀, y₀), substitute X= x – x₀ and Y= y- y₀. The limit becomes lim(X,Y)→(0,0) f(X+x₀, Y+y₀).
-
Continuity: A function f is continuous at (x₀, y₀) if lim(x,y)→(x₀,y₀) f(x, y) = f(x₀, y₀).
Partial Derivatives
-
Definition: The partial derivative of an n-variable function f(x1, x2, ..., xn) with respect to xk is the derivative of the function xk → f(x1, x2, ..., xk, ..., xn) considering other variables as constants.
-
Notation: Partial derivatives of f with respect to x are written as ∂f/∂x
-
Higher-order Derivatives: Second-order partial derivatives and higher derivatives exist and can be calculated in a similar manner.
Critical Points and Extrema
-
Critical Points: A critical point (x, y) for a two-variable function f satisfies ∂f/∂x = 0 and ∂f/∂y = 0.
-
Extrema: Local maximum or minimum points are critical points. Use second-order partial derivatives to determine whether a critical point is a local maximum, minimum, or saddle point. Define R=∂2f/∂x2, S=∂2f/∂x∂y, and T=∂2f/∂y2. Then evaluate W = RT - S2 and the sign of R and W determines the type to confirm a maximum, minimum, or neither.
