Question # 1 [15 marks]

a) Sketch the domain of f . Use solid lines for portions of the


boundary included in the domain and dashed lines for por-
tions not included:
i) f (x, y) = ln(1 − x2 − y 2 )

ii) f (x, y) =
x − y2

b) Sketch the level surface f (x, y, z) = k:

f (x, y, z) = 4x − 2y + z, k=1

Question # 2 [10 marks]

Question # 3 [20 marks]

a) Find the limits of the following and state at what points on


the plane the function is continuous:

c)Evaluate the limit using the substitution z = x2 + y 2 and


observing that z → 0+ if and only if (x, y) → (0, 0).

(b) Find the local linear approximation L to the specified func-


tion f at the designated point P . Compare the error in ap-
proximating f by L at the specified point Q with the distance
between P and Q.
