For the following exercises, determine whether the statement is true or false. Justify your answer with a proof or a counterexample.

1. The domain of $f(x,y)=x^3\arcsin(y)$ is $\big\{ (x,y) \, | \, x \in \mathbb R\text{ and }−\pi≤y≤\pi \big\}.$

2. If the function $f(x,y)$ is continuous everywhere, then $f_{xy}(x,y) =f_{yx}(x,y).$

Answer: True, by Clairaut’s theorem

7. $\displaystyle \lim_{(x,y)→(1,1)}\frac{4xy}{x−2y^2}$

8. $\displaystyle \lim_{(x,y)→(0,0)}\frac{4xy}{x−2y^2}$

Answer: Does not exist.

For the following exercises, find the largest interval of continuity for the function.

9. $f(x,y)=x^3\arcsin y$

10. $g(x,y)=\ln(4−x^2−y^2)$

Answer: Continuous at all points on the $xy$ -plane, except where $x^2 + y^2 > 4.$

For the following exercises, find all first partial derivatives.

11. $f(x,y)=x^2−y^2$

12. $u(x,y)=x^4−3xy+1,$ with $x=2t$ and $y=t^3$

Answer: $\dfrac{∂u}{∂x}=4x^3−3y,$

$\dfrac{∂u}{∂y}=−3x,$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt} = 2$ and $\dfrac{dy}{dt} = 3t^2$

$\begin{align*} \dfrac{du}{dt} &= \dfrac{∂u}{∂x}\cdot\dfrac{dx}{dt} + \dfrac{∂u}{∂y}\cdot\dfrac{dy}{dt}\\[4pt] &= 8x^3 -6y -9xt^2\\[4pt] &= 8\big(2t\big)^3 - 6(t^3) - 9(2t)t^2 \\[4pt] &= 64t^3 - 6t^3 - 18t^3 \\[4pt] &= 40t^3 \end{align*}$

For the following exercises, find all second partial derivatives.

13. $g(t,x)=3t^2−\sin(x+t)$

14. $h(x,y,z)=\dfrac{x^3e^{2y}}{z}$

Answer: $h_{xx}(x,y,z) = \dfrac{6xe^{2y}}{z},$
$h_{xy}(x,y,z) = \dfrac{6x^2e^{2y}}{z},$
$h_{xz}(x,y,z) = −\dfrac{3x^2e^{2y}}{z^2},$
$h_{yx}(x,y,z) = \dfrac{6x^2e^{2y}}{z},$
$h_{yy}(x,y,z) = \dfrac{4x^3e^{2y}}{z},$
