1. Find and sketch the domain of the function.
p
2. f (x, y) = 16 − 4x2 − y 2 + ln(x2 + y 2 − 1)
Domain = {(x, y)|x2 + y 2 > 1 and 4x2 + y 2 ≤ 16}
y

3. Explain why this limit does not exist.
lim
(x,y)→(0,0)
4x2 + 3xy 3
x2 + y 2
Taking a path of the x−axis gives a limit of 4.
taking a path of the y−axis gives a limit of 0.
since two different paths to the same point give different values, the limit of the function does not exist.
