Chapter 1: Multivariable Functions

1.1 Functions of two variables


Definition:
A function f of two real variables, x, and y, is a rule that
assigns a unique real number f ( x, y ) to each point ( x, y )
in some set D of the xy –plane.

The domain of a function is a set of points at which the


function is defined.

Example 1.1:
Let f ( x, y )  3x 2 y  1. Find f (1,4) , f (0,9) , and the
natural domain of f.

Example 1.2:
Sketch the natural domain of the function
f ( x, y )  ln( x 2  y )

Example 1.3

Given 𝑧 = 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦)

Definition: A level curve of a function f ( x, y ) is the


curve f ( x, y )  c in the xy-plane. It consists of the points
 x, y  where the function has the value c.
Let 𝑥 = 𝑐=constant. A curve 𝑧 = 𝑓(𝑦) in the 𝑦𝑧-plane is
called a trace.

Let 𝑦 = 𝑐=constant. A curve 𝑧 = 𝑓(𝑥) in the 𝑥𝑧-plane is


called a trace.

Example:

Given 𝑧 = 𝑓 (𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 − 9.
(i) Sketch the levels curves of the function for
𝑧 = −9, −5,0,7.
(ii) Sketch the traces of the function for 𝑥 = 0
and 𝑦 = 0.
(iii) Sketch the graph of the function.

1.2 Functions with three variables

Definition:
A function f of three real variables, x, y, and z, is a rule
that assigns a unique real number f ( x, y, z ) to each point
( x, y, z ) in some set D of three-dimensional space.

Example:
Find the domain of the following functions:
(i) f ( x, y, z )  xy ln z
1
(ii) f ( x, y, z )  2
x  y2  z2

Level Surfaces

Definition: A level surface of f ( x, y, z ) is the surface


f ( x, y, z )  c in xyz-space where the function has a
constant value.

Example:
If w  f ( x, y, z )  z  x 2  y 2  c , sketch the level
surfaces of f , for c  1,0,1,2 .
