Exercise · ZW-FUNCTION-OF-SEVERAL-VARIABLES-008 · ★★☆ Intermediate

If \(f(x,y)=x^2y\), what is \(\dfrac{f(2x,2y)}{f(x,y)}\) when \(f(x,y)\ne0\)?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • D. \(8\)

Explanation

\(f(2x,2y)=(2x)^2(2y)=8x^2y\), so the quotient is \(8\). Three factors of \(2\) are multiplied, one for each degree.

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.

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