Exercise · ZW-FUNCTION-OF-SEVERAL-VARIABLES-010 · ★★★ Advanced

Let \(g(x,y,z)=\ln(z-x^2-y^2)\). Which point is in its domain?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • B. \((0,0,1)\)

Explanation

We need \(z>x^2+y^2\). At \((0,0,1)\): \(1>0\), yes. In the others, \(2=2\), \(1=1\) and \(3<4\): none satisfies the strict inequality. The domain is the region above the paraboloid.

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.

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