Mathematics 315 Assignment 9

1. Find a function from R^2 to R that is continuous but not differentiable. 2. Prove that the function f(x1, x2) = (x1cos(ex2), x2) is differentiable. 3. If a function has a local maximum at x0 and is differentiable there, then its derivative is zero. 4. Prove that the function f(x) = x1|x2|/√(x12 + x22) is continuous at 0 but not differentiable.

Mathematics 315 Assignment 9.

1. Find a function of R2 to R which is continuous, but not dierentiable. 2. Prove that the function f : R2 R2 dened by f (x1 , x2 ) = (x1 cos(ex2 ), x2 1 x2 ) is dierentiable. 3. Let f be a real-valued function dened in an open set G of Rn . If f has a local maximum at x0 G, and is dierentiable there, then f (x0 ) is the zero transformation. 4. Let f : R2 R be dened by f (x) =
x1 |x2 | , x=0 2 2 x1 +x2

0,

x = 0.

Prove that f is continuous at 0 and has all directional derivatives there, but is still not dierentiable at 0. 5. Let be a bilinear product from Rn Rm to Rk . Prove there exists M R with |u v| M |u||v|, for all u Rn , v Rm . Hint: use the idea of the proof of the estimate on the norm of a linear transformation:
n

T (

j =1

|T ej |2 )1/2 < +.

6. Prove: Let f and g be functions dened and dierentiable on an open set containing x0 Rn with values in Rm and let c R. Then f + g and cf are dierentiable at x0 and (f + g) (x0 ) = f (x0 ) + g (x0 ) and (cf ) (x0 ) = cf (x0 ). 7. Prove the product rule for dierentiation of vector functions of a vector variable: Let G be an open subset of Rp , x0 G, f : G Rn , g : G Rm , a bilinear product from Rn Rm to Rk . If f and g are dierentiable at x0 , with derivatives f (x0 ) = Df (x0 ) and g (x0 ) = Dg(x0 ), then so is f g, with D(f g)(x0 )h = (Df (x0 )h) g(x0 ) + f (x0 ) (Dg(x0 )h). Of course, (f g) is dened by (f g)(x) = f (x) g(x).
