MH1811 Mathematics 2 Tutorial 1

Topics: Functions of 2 or more variables: Domain, Level sets, Limits and Continuity.

1. Express each of the following equation in the form α(x − a)2 + β(y − b)2 = γ, where α, β and γ
are positive real numbers. If it is a circle, determine the center and radius of the circle. Sketch
each of them on an xy-plane.

(a) x2 − 4x + y 2 = 5
(b) 4x2 − 6x + y 2 + 8y + 12 = 0

2. Identify each of the following equations as plane or a circle in R3 . If it is a plane, write down
a normal vector n which is perpendicular (orthogonal) to it, and determine the x-, y-, and z-
intercepts of the plane, if exists. If it is a sphere, determine its center and radius.

(a) x2 + 4x + y 2 + z 2 − 6z = 12
(b) 6z − 3x − 2y + 12 = 0
(c) 9x − 2y = 18
(d) x2 − x + y 2 + 6y + z 2 − 5z = 0

3. Find and sketch the domain for each function. Express the domain in the following form:
Domain of f : (x, y) ∈ R2 |

5. For each of the following functions f (x, y) and specified values of k, sketch the level curves
f (x, y) = k.

(a) f (x, y) = x2 + y 2 , k = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
(b) f (x, y) = 3x + y, k = −2, −1, 0, 1, 2

0, otherwise .

f (x, y) = 0.
(ii) Find each of the following limits, or explain that the limit does not exist.
(a) lim f (x, y)
(x,y)→(0,2)
(b) lim f (x, y)

(iii) Describe the functions g(x) = f (x, 7) for each x ∈ R, and h(y) = f (2, y) for each

9. Use Squeeze Theorem to show that lim = 0.
(x,y)→(0,0) x2 + y 2

(Hint: Use triangle inequality and both equalities |x|2 ≤ x2 + y 2 and |y|2 ≤ x2 + y 2 .)
