Exercise · ZW-FUNCTION-OF-SEVERAL-VARIABLES-006 · ★★☆ Intermediate

Which points belong to the domain of \(f(x,y)=\dfrac{1}{x^2+y^2-1}\)?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • A. All except those on the circle \(x^2+y^2=1\)

Explanation

We only need the denominator to be nonzero: \(x^2+y^2\ne1\). Points inside and outside the unit circle are in the domain.

Review the concept: Function of several variables

A function of several variables \(f\) assigns to each point \(\mathbf x=(x_1,\dots,x_n)\) of a set \(D\subseteq\mathbb R^n\), its domain, a single real number.

\[f:D\subseteq\mathbb R^n\to\mathbb R\]
