    This document provides an overview of limits and continuity for multivariable functions. It defines limits as describing how a function behaves near a point rather than at the point. Three attempts are given to evaluate limits: 1) check if the function is defined at the point, 2) simplify the function if possible, and 3) show the limit does not exist by using different paths to the point. Continuity requires three conditions: 1) the function is defined at the point, 2) the limit exists as the point is approached, and 3) the limit equals the function value at the point. An example evaluates continuity at a point by checking these three conditions.

    Chapter 1
    Multivariable Function
    1.2 LIMIT AND CONTINUITY OF MULTIVARIABLE FUNCTION
    Limit
    Limits describe how a function behave near a point, instead of at that point.
    Limit
    1st attempt: Determine 𝑓(𝑎, 𝑏) define or not. If not try 2nd attempt
    2nd attempt: Simplify 𝑓 𝑥, 𝑦 (if not applicable try 3rd attempt), then check again 𝑓 𝑎, 𝑏 defined
    or not.
    3rd attempt: Show the limit of the function 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) does not exist. Choose any two smooth
    curves (or lines) which pass through the point (𝑎, 𝑏), and show the values of the limit are not
    the same from those two directions. Hence, conclude that the limit for that function does not
    exist
    Example 1
    𝑥𝑦 4
    Evaluate lim if it exist. If not, show the limit does not exist.
    (𝑥,𝑦)→(0,0) 𝑥 2 +𝑦 8
    0
    1st attempt: 𝑓 0,0 = undefined
    0
    𝑥𝑦 4
    2nd attempt: cannot be simplified
    𝑥 2 +𝑦 8
    3rd attempt: Choose any two smooth curves (or lines) which pass through the point (0,0)
    i. Choose line: 𝑦 = 0
    𝑥𝑦 4 𝑥(0)4
    lim = lim = lim 0 = 0
    (𝑥,𝑦)→(0,0) 𝑥 2 +𝑦 8 (𝑥,𝑦)→(0,0) 𝑥 2 +(0)8 𝑥→0
    Not same – limit does not
    ii. Choose curve: 𝑥 = 𝑦 4 exist
    𝑥𝑦 4 𝑦4𝑦4 1 1
    lim = lim = lim =
    (𝑥,𝑦)→(0,0) 𝑥 2 +𝑦 8 (𝑥,𝑦)→(0,0) 𝑦 8 +𝑦 8 𝑥→0 2 2
    Continuity
    *Draw without picking up my pen!
    Function of two variable 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) is continuous at point (𝑎, 𝑏) if all the following 3 conditions are
    fulfilled.
    1. 𝑓 𝑎, 𝑏 is defined
    2. lim 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) exist
    (𝑥,𝑦)→(𝑎,𝑏)

    3. lim 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑓(𝑎, 𝑏)


    (𝑥,𝑦)→(𝑎,𝑏)
    Example 2
    Determine whether the function
    𝑥 2 −𝑦 2
    𝑖𝑓 (𝑥, 𝑦) ≠ (0,0)
    𝑓 𝑥, 𝑦 = 𝑥+𝑦
    0 𝑖𝑓 𝑥, 𝑦 = (0,0)
    Continuous at (0,0) or not.
    Step 1: Find 𝑓 𝑎, 𝑏 - 𝑓 0,0 = 0
    Step 2: Find the limit for function 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) when (𝑥, 𝑦) → (𝑎, 𝑏)
    𝑥 2 −𝑦 2 (𝑥+𝑦)(𝑥−𝑦)
    lim = lim = lim 𝑥−𝑦=0
    (𝑥,𝑦)→(0,0) 𝑥+𝑦 (𝑥,𝑦)→(0,0) 𝑥+𝑦 (𝑥,𝑦)→(0,0)
    Step 3: Check whether lim 𝑓 𝑥, 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑎, 𝑏) or not
    (𝑥,𝑦)→(0,0)
    𝑥 2 −𝑦 2
    lim = 𝑓 0,0 = 0 function 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) is continuous at (0,0)
    (𝑥,𝑦)→(0,0) 𝑥+𝑦
