Submission Deadline: Spring 2025 Total Marks: 70

Solve all problems using rigorous methods without skipping any steps

1. Guess the limit then prove by δ − ϵ method. (20 Marks)

(a) lim (5x3 − x2 y 2 ) (c) lim √ xy


(x,y)→(1,2) (x,y)→(0,0) x2 +y 2

4−xy √ x2 +y 2
(b) lim x 2 +3y 2 (d) lim
(x,y)→(2,1) (x,y)→(0,0) x2 +y 2 +1−1

2. Consider the function: (5 Marks)


5xy 2
f (x, y) =
x2 + y 2
Show that the limit of f (x, y) as (x, y) → (0, 0) is 0.
3. Consider the function:
xy 2
f (x, y) =
x2 + y 4
does lim f (x, y) exist? (5 Marks)
(x,y)→(0,0)

4. Consider the function: (5 Marks)


(
cos y sin x
x
, x ̸= 0
f (x, y) =
cos y, x=0
Determine whether f is continuous at (0, 0). If not, can we redefine f (0, 0) to make f
continuous at (0, 0)? Prove using the definition of continuity.
5. If (x, y) ̸= (0, 0), let
(x2 − y 2 )
f (x, y) = .
(x2 + y 2 )
Evaluate the limit of f (x, y) as (x, y) → (0, 0) along the line y = mx. Is it possible to
define f (0, 0) to make f continuous at (0, 0)? (5 Marks)
6. Let (
0, y ≤ 0 or y ≥ x2
f (x, y) =
1, 0 < y < x2
Show that f (x, y) → 0 as (x, y) → (0, 0) along any straight line through the origin. Find
a curve passing through the origin along which f (x, y) (except at the origin) has the
constant value 1. Is f continuous at the origin? (5 Marks)
2 2
7. If f (x, y) = sin(x +y )
x2 +y 2
when (x, y) ̸= (0, 0), how should f (0, 0) be defined to make f
continuous at the origin? Prove using the ϵ − δ definition of continuity. (5 Marks)

8. Let f be a scalar field continuous at an interior point a of a set S in Rn . If f (a) ̸= 0,


prove that there exists an n-ball B(a) in which f has the same sign as f (a). (5 Marks)

9. Suppose that lim(x,y)→(a,b) f (x, y) = L and the one-dimensional limits

lim f (x, y) and lim f (x, y)


x→a y→b

both exist. Then   h i


lim lim f (x, y) = lim lim f (x, y) = L.
x→a y→b y→b x→a

(a) Prove the above theorem. (9 Marks)


(b) Provide an example of a function f (x, y) such that (2 Marks)
  h i
lim lim f (x, y) = 1 but lim lim f (x, y) = −1.
x→0 y→0 y→0 x→0

(c) Give an example of a function f (x, y) such that (2 Marks)


  h i
lim lim f (x, y) = lim lim f (x, y) = 0
x→0 y→0 y→0 x→0

but f (x, y) does not tend to a limit as (x, y) → (0, 0).


(d) Give a function f (x, y) such that f (x, y) → 0 as (x, y) → (0, 0), but (2 Marks)
h i  
lim lim f (x, y) ̸= lim lim f (x, y) .
