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.
A All except those on the circle \(x^2+y^2=1\) B Only those in the exterior \(x^2+y^2>1\) C All except the origin D Only those in the disk \(x^2+y^2<1\)
Show answer A. All except those on the circle \(x^2+y^2=1\)
← Back to the question
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 .
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.
\[f:D\subseteq\mathbb R^n\to\mathbb R\]
