In other words,, r(t) 具 f(t), t(t)典 f(t)i t(t)j, , t僆I, , As t takes on increasing values, the terminal point of r(t) traces the path of the object, which is a plane curve C. This is illustrated in Figure 1 for the parameter interval, I [a, b]., y, C, , ( f(a), g(a)), , ( f(t), g(t)), ( f(b), g(b)), , FIGURE 1, As t increases from a to b, the terminal, point of r traces the curve C., , [, a, , t, , ], b, , r(a), , t, , r(t), , r(b), x, , 0, , Parameter interval [a, b], , Similarly, in 3-space we can describe the position of an object such as a plane or, a satellite using the parametric equations, x f(t), , y t(t), , z h(t), , where f, t, and h are continuous functions on a parameter interval I. Equivalently, we, can describe its position using the position vector r defined by, r(t) 具 f(t), t(t), h(t)典 f(t)i t(t)j h(t)k, , t僆I, , As t takes on increasing values, the terminal point of r(t) traces the path of the object,, which is a space curve C.

12.1, , Vector-Valued Functions and Space Curves, , 985, , DEFINITION Vector Function, A vector-valued function, or vector function, is a function r defined by, r(t) f(t)i t(t)j h(t)k, where the component functions f, t, and h of r are real-valued functions of the, parameter t lying in a parameter interval I., , Unless otherwise specified, the parameter interval will be taken to be the intersection of the domains of the real-valued functions f, t, and h., , EXAMPLE 1 Find the domain (parameter interval) of the vector function, 1, r(t) h , 1t 1, ln ti, t, Solution The component functions of r are f(t) 1>t, t(t) 1t 1, and, h(t) ln t. Observe that f is defined for all values of t except t 0, t is defined for, all t 1, and h is defined for all t 0. Therefore, f, t, and h are all defined if t 1,, and we conclude that the domain of r is [1, ⬁)., , Curves Defined by Vector Functions, As was mentioned earlier, a plane or space curve is the curve traced out by the terminal point of r(t) of a vector function r as t takes on all values in a parameter interval., , EXAMPLE 2 Sketch the curve defined by the vector function, r(t) 具3 cos t, 2 sin t典, Solution, , 0 t 2p, , The parametric equations for the curve are, x 3 cos t, , and, , y 2 sin t, , Solving the first equation for cos t and the second equation for sin t and using the identity cos2 t sin2 t 1, we obtain the rectangular equation, y2, x2, , 1, 9, 4, The curve described by this equation is the ellipse shown in Figure 3. As t increases, from 0 to 2p, the terminal point of r traces the ellipse in a clockwise direction., y, 2, , (t 3π2 ), (3 cos t, 2 sin t), , FIGURE 3, As t increases from 0 to 2p, the, terminal point of the vector r(t) traces, y2, x2, the ellipse, , 1 in a clockwise, 9, 4, direction, starting and ending at (3, 0)., , (t π), 3, [, 0, , ], 2π, , r(t), 0, , t, , Parameter interval [0, 2π], , 2, , (t 0, 2π), x, , 3, , (t π2 )

Because the parameter interval is the closed interval, [0, 1], we see that the curve is a straight line segment: Its initial point (2, 1, 3) is the, terminal point of the vector r(0) 2i j 3k, and its terminal point (2, 2, 5) is, the terminal point of the vector r(1) 2i 2j 5k.

In fact, as t runs from 2 to 2, the terminal point of r traces the part of the parabola starting at the point (3, 2, 0) [since, r(2) 3i 2j] and ending at the point (3, 2, 0) [since r(2) 3i 2j], as shown, in Figure 5., , EXAMPLE 5 Sketch the curve defined by the vector function, r(t) 2 cos ti 2 sin tj tk, Solution, , 0 t 2p, , The parametric equations for the curve are, x 2 cos t, , y 2 sin t, , zt

At t 0, r(0) 2i, and this gives (2, 0, 0) as the starting point of the curve., Since z t, the z-coordinate of the point on the curve increases (linearly) as t increases,, and the curve spirals upward around the cylinder in a counterclockwise direction,, terminating at the point (2, 0, 2p) [r(2p) 2i 2pk]. The curve, called a helix, is, shown in Figure 6., , EXAMPLE 6 Find a vector function that describes the curve of intersection of the, cylinder x 2 y 2 4 and the plane x y 2z 4.

Therefore,, x 2 cos t, , and, , y 2 sin t, , To find the z-coordinate of the point, we substitute these values of x and y into the, equation of the plane, obtaining, 2 cos t 2 sin t 2z 4, , or, , z 2 cos t sin t, , So a required vector function is, r(t) 2 cos ti 2 sin tj (2 cos t sin t)k, , 0 t 2p, , You might have noticed that the space curves in Examples 4, 5, and 6 are relatively, easy to sketch by hand. This is partly because they are relatively simple and partly, because they lie in a plane. For more complicated curves we turn to computers., , EXAMPLE 7 Use a computer to plot the curve represented by, r(t) (0.2 sin 20t 0.8) cos ti (0.2 sin 20t 0.8) sin tj 0.2 cos 20tk, 0 t 2p

For example, we add two vector functions componentwise. Thus, if, r1(t) f1(t)i t1(t)j h 1(t)k, , and, , r2(t) f2 (t)i t2(t)j h 2(t)k, , then, (r1 r2)(t) r1(t) r2(t) [ f1 (t) f2 (t)]i [t1(t) t2(t)]j [h 1(t) h 2 (t)]k, Similarly, if c is a scalar, then the scalar multiple of r by c is, (cr)(t) cr(t) cf(t)i ct(t)j ch(t)k, Next, because the components f, t, and h of the vector function r are real-valued, functions, we can investigate the notions of limits and continuity involving r using the, properties of such functions. As you might expect, the limit of r(t) is defined in terms, of the limits of its component functions., , DEFINITION The Limit of a Vector Function, Let r be a function defined by r(t) f(t)i t(t)j h(t)k. Then, lim r(t) C lim f(t)D i C lim t(t)D j C lim h(t)D k, t→a, , t→a, , t→a, , t→a, , provided that the limits of the component functions exist., , To obtain a geometric interpretation of lim t→a r(t) , suppose that the limit exists., Let lim t→a f(t) L 1, lim t→a t(t) L 2, and lim t→a h(t) L 3, and let L L 1i L 2 j , L 3k. Then, by definition, lim t→a r(t) L. This says that as t approaches a, the vector, r(t) approaches the constant vector L. (See Figure 9.)

He made many, contributions to the study of vector analysis, thermodynamics, and electromagnetics, and provided a firm mathematical foundation for statistical mechanics. Because of, the depth and application of his work,, Albert Einstein referred to Gibbs as “the, greatest mind in American history.” Gibbs’s, mother was an amateur ornithologist, and, his father was a professor of sacred literature at Yale. Gibbs, who began school at, the age of 9, eventually attended Yale himself. He earned a bachelor’s degree at the, age of 19 and showed promise that he, would follow his father into the area of, philology. At the time, the American academy awarded doctorates in only applied, science and mathematics, yet Gibbs’s doctoral thesis was written on spur gear, design. As a result of this thesis, he was, awarded the first doctorate of engineering, in the United States. In 1866 he embarked, on a three-year trip abroad, where he, attended lectures in physics at many European universities. Upon his return to the, United States, Gibbs was appointed to a, position of professor of mathematical, physics at Yale. He presented his first work, of vector analysis while teaching there., Gibbs’s courses included the first collegelevel vector analysis course. Using Gibbs’s, class notes, Edwin Wilson wrote a textbook,, published in 1901, that was titled Gibbs’, Vector Analysis. This textbook reached a, wider audience than Gibbs’s own publications did, and it led to Gibbs receiving, many awards, including honorary doctor of, science degrees from Erlangen, Williams, College, and Princeton University., , L, , x, , FIGURE 9, lim t→a r(t) L means that as t approaches a, r(t) approaches L., , EXAMPLE 8 Find lim t→0 r(t), where r(t) 1t 2i t cos 2tj et k., Solution, , lim r(t) C lim 1t 2 D i C lim t cos 2tD j C lim etD k, t→0, , t→0, , t→0, , t→0, , 12i k, The notion of continuity is extended to vector functions via the following definition., , DEFINITION Continuity of a Vector Function, A vector function r is continuous at a if, lim r(t) r(a), t→a, , A vector function r is continuous on an interval I if it is continuous at every, number in I., , It follows from this definition that a vector function is continuous at a if and only, if each of its component functions is continuous at a., , EXAMPLE 9 Find the interval(s) on which the vector function r defined by, r(t) 1ti a, , 1, t 1, 2, , bj ln tk, , is continuous., Solution The component functions of r are f(t) 1t, t(t) 1>(t 2 1), and, h(t) ln t. Observe that f is continuous for t 0, t is continuous for all values of t, except t 1, and h is continuous for t 0. Therefore, r is continuous on the intervals (0, 1) and (1, ⬁).

As h approaches 0, the number t h approaches, t along the parameter interval, and the point Q, in turn, approaches the point P along, the curve C. As a consequence, the vector [r(t h) r(t)]>h approaches the fixed, vector r¿(t), which lies on the tangent line to the curve at P. In other words, the derivative r¿ of the vector r may be interpreted as the tangent vector to the curve defined, by r at the point P, provided that r¿(t) 0. If we divide r¿(t) by its length, we obtain, the unit tangent vector, T(t) , , r¿(t), 冟 r¿(t) 冟, , which has unit length and the direction of r¿., The following theorem tells us that the derivative r¿ of a vector function can be, found by differentiating the components of r., , THEOREM 1 Differentiation of Vector Functions, Let r(t) f(t)i t(t)j h(t)k, where f, t, and h are differentiable functions of, t.

For example, the plane curve defined by r(t) t 3 i t 2 j is smooth, everywhere except at the point (0, 0) corresponding to t 0. To see this, we compute, r¿(t) 3t 2 i 2tj and note that r¿(0) 0. The curve is shown in Figure 2. The point, (0, 0) where the curve has a sharp corner is called a cusp., , Arc Length Parameter, The curve C described by the vector function r(t) with parameter t in some parameter, interval I is said to be parametrized by t. A curve C can have more than one parametrization. For example, the helix represented by the vector function, r1(t) 2 cos ti 3 sin tj tk, , 2p t 4p, , with parameter t is also represented by the function, r2 (u) 2 cos eu i 3 sin eu j eu k, , ln 2p u ln 4p, , with parameter u, where t and u are related by t eu., A useful parametrization of a curve C is obtained by using the arc length of C as, its parameter. To see how this is done, we need the following definition., , DEFINITION Arc Length Function, Suppose that C is a smooth curve described by r(t) f(t)i t(t)j h(t)k,, where a t b. Then the arc length function s is defined by, t, , s(t) , , 冮 冟 r¿(u) 冟 du, , (1), , a, , Thus, s(t) is the length of that part of C (shown in red) between r(a) and r(t) . (See, Figure 3.)

Suppose that the smooth curve C is defined by the vector function r(s), where s is the arc, length parameter. Then the unit tangent vector function T(s) r¿(s) gives the direction of the plane at the point on C corresponding to the parameter value s., In Figure 5 we have drawn the unit tangent vector T(s) to C corresponding to several values of s. Observe that T(s) turns rather slowly along a stretch of the flight path, that is relatively straight but turns more quickly along a stretch of the curve where the, plane executes a sharp turn., To measure how quickly a curve bends, we introduce the notion of the curvature, of a curve. Specifically, we define the curvature at a point on a curve C to be the magnitude of the rate of change of the unit tangent vector with respect to arc length at that, point., , DEFINITION Curvature, Let C be a smooth curve defined by r(s), where s is the arc length of the parameter. Then the curvature of C at s is, k(s) `, , dT, ` 冟 T¿(s) 冟, ds, , where T is the unit tangent vector., , Note, , The Greek letter k is read “kappa.”, , Although the use of the arc length parameter s provides us with a natural way for, defining the curvature of a curve, it is generally easier to find the curvature in terms, of the parameter t. To see how this is done, let’s apply the Chain Rule (Rule 6 in Section 12.2) to write, dT, dT ds, , dt, ds dt, Then, dT, `, `, dT, dt, `, k(s) `, ds, ds, ` `, dt, Since ds>dt 冟 r¿(t) 冟 by Equation (2), we are led to the following formula:, k(t) , , 冟 T¿(t) 冟, 冟 r¿(t) 冟, , (4), , EXAMPLE 3 Find the curvature of a circle of radius a., Solution Without loss of generality we may take the circle C with center at the origin.

This result, agrees with our intuition: A big circle has a small curvature and vice versa., The following formula expresses the curvature in terms of the vector function r and, its derivatives., , THEOREM 2 Formula for Finding Curvature, Let C be a smooth curve given by the vector function r.

Thus, the vector r¿(t) gives both the speed, and the direction of the plane. In other words, it makes sense to define the velocity vector of the plane at time t to be r¿(t), the rate of change of its position vector with respect, to time. Similarly, we define the acceleration vector of the plane at time t to be r⬙(t),, the rate of change of its velocity vector with respect to time., To gain insight into the nature of the acceleration vector, let’s refer to Figure 2., Here, t is fixed, and h is a small number. The vector r¿(t) is tangent to the flight path, at the tip of the position vector r(t), and r¿(t h) is tangent to the flight path at the, tip of r(t h) . The vector, r¿(t h) r¿(t), h

As a student at the University of Berlin, he took courses in theology, classical languages, and literature, but, he appears not to have taken any courses, in mathematics or physics. After completing his university studies in 1830, Grassmann spent a year undertaking research in, mathematics and preparing himself to, teach in gymnasiums (secondary schools)., He did not do well on the exams and was, qualified to teach only at the lower levels., However, during this time he had made significant mathematical discoveries that, would eventually appear in his 1844 work, Die Lineale Ausdehnungslehre. This was a, truly groundbreaking work. In it he introduced many concepts and techniques that, are of central importance in contemporary, mathematics, such as n-dimensional vector, spaces and multilinear algebra. However,, this work was far ahead of its time, and, Grassmann’s writing style was not clear or, well polished. The mathematical community dismissed Die Lineale Ausdehnungslehre. In spite of this, Grassmann continued to work on his ideas about geometric, calculus and republished the paper in 1862., Still not understood by others, he turned, to studies in linguistics and other areas of, science. Before his death in 1877 he had, written a third version of his paper. It was, published after his death, and it was then, that Grassmann’s discoveries were recognized. Today, Grassmann is credited with, the invention of linear algebra., , v(0) C i 2k, Therefore, the velocity of the object at any time t is, v(t) (3t 2 i tj 2tk) i 2k, (3t 2 1)i tj 2(t 1)k, Next, integrating the equation r¿(t) v(t) with respect to t gives, r(t) , , 冮 v(t) dt 冮 [(3t, , 2, , 1)i tj 2(t 1)k] dt, , (t 3 t)i , , 1 2, t j (t 2 2t)k D, 2, , Letting t 0 in r(t) and using the initial condition r(0) i 2j k, we have, r(0) D i 2j k, Therefore, the position of the object at any time t is, r(t) (t 3 t)i , , 1 2, t j (t 2 2t)k (i 2j k), 2, , 1, (t 3 t 1)i a t 2 2bj (t 2 2t 1)k, 2, 1, (t 3 t 1)i a t 2 2bj (t 1)2 k, 2, , Motion of a Projectile, A projectile of mass m is fired from a height h with an initial velocity v0 and an angle, of elevation a. If we describe the position of the projectile at any time t by the position vector r(t), then its initial position may be described by the vector, r(0) hj, and its initial velocity by the vector, v(0) v0 (√0 cos a)i (√0 sin a)j, (See Figure 5.), , √0 冟 v0 冟, , (1)

After laboring for more than 20 years analyzing the empirical data obtained by the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, the German astronomer, Johannes Kepler (1571–1630) formulated the following three laws describing the, motion of the planets around the sun., , Kepler’s Laws, 1. The orbit of each planet is an ellipse with the sun at one focus. (See, Figure 5a.), 2. The line joining the sun to a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time. (See Figure 5b.), 3. The square of the period of revolution T of a planet is proportional to the, cube of the length of the major axis a of its orbit; that is, T 2 ka 3, where, k is a constant.

He showed that they were consequences of his own Law of Universal Gravitation and the Second Law of Motion. We will prove Kepler’s First Law and leave the, derivation of the other two laws as exercises. (See Exercises 37 and 38.), , Derivation of Kepler’s First Law, We begin by showing that the orbit of a planet lies in a plane. Let’s place the sun at, the origin of a coordinate system. By Newton’s Law of Gravitation the force F of gravitational attraction exerted by the sun on the planet is given by, F, , GMm, r2, , u, , where M and m are the masses of the sun and the planet, respectively; r is the position, vector of the planet; G is the gravitational constant; r 冟 r 冟; and u r> 冟 r 冟 is the unit, vector having the same direction as r. This force, which is always directed toward a, fixed point O, is an example of a central force. But by Newton’s Second Law of Motion, the acceleration, a, of the planet is related to the force, F, to which it is subjected by, F ma, Equating these two expressions for F gives, ma , , GMm, , u, , r2, , or, upon dividing through by m,, a, , GM, r2, , u, , Next, we will show that for any central force, r and a satisfy r, we compute, r, , a, , ar, , , GM, r, , 2, , GM, r, , ar, , 2, , ub , , GM, r2, , (r, , r, GM, b 3 (r, 冟r冟, r, , a 0.

By the definition of the cross-product, c is orthogonal to, both r and v, and we conclude that both r(t) and v(t) lie in a fixed plane containing, the point O. This shows that the orbit of the planet is a plane curve, as was claimed, earlier.

If b 0, then Equation (6) reduces to, GMr c2, or, r, , c2, GM, , and the orbit of the planet is a circle. Note that none of the orbits of the planets in our, solar system has such an orbit. So we may assume that b 0 for planets in our solar, system. In this case, letting u be the angle between r and b and writing 冟 c 冟 c, we, can write Equation (6) in the form, GMr 冟 r 冟冟 b 冟 cos u c2, GMr rb cos u c2, or, r, , c2, GM b cos u, , (7), , Dividing both the numerator and denominator of Equation (7) by GM, we obtain, c2, ec2, GM, b, r, , b, 1 e cos u, 1a, b cos u, GM, where e b>GM.

Therefore, in the plane determined by b and r (see Figure 7), we can regard, r and u as polar coordinates of a point P on the orbit of the planet. Comparing Equation (8) with that of Theorem 2 in Section 10.6, we see that it is the polar equation of, a conic section with focus at the origin and eccentricity e. Since the orbit of the planet, is a closed curve, we know that the conic must be an ellipse. This completes the proof, of Kepler’s First Law., , CONCEPT QUESTIONS, , 1. a.

1034, , Chapter 13 Functions of Several Variables, , 13.1, , Functions of Two or More Variables, Functions of Two Variables, Up to now, we have dealt only with functions of one variable. In practice, however, we, often encounter situations in which one quantity depends on two or more quantities., For example, consider the following:, The volume V of a right circular cylinder depends on its radius r and its height, h (V pr 2h)., The volume V of a rectangular box depends on its length l, width w, and height, h (V lwh)., The revenue R from the sale of commodities A, B, C, and D at the unit prices of, 10, 14, 20, and 30 dollars, respectively, depends on the number of units x, y, z,, and w of commodities A, B, C, and D sold (R 10x 14y 20z 30w)., Just as we used a function of one variable to describe the dependency of one variable on another, we can use the notion of a function of several variables to describe, the dependency of one variable on several variables. We begin with the definition of a, function of two variables., , DEFINITION Function of Two Variables, Let D {(x, y) 冟 x, y 僆 R} be a subset of the xy-plane. A function f of two variables is a rule that assigns to each ordered pair of real numbers (x, y) in D a, unique real number z. The set D is called the domain of f, and the set of corresponding values of z is called the range of f., , The number z is usually written z f(x, y) . The variables x and y are independent, variables, and z is the dependent variable., As in the case of a function of a single variable, a function of two or more variables can be described verbally, numerically, graphically, or algebraically., , EXAMPLE 1 Home Mortgage Payments In a typical housing loan, the borrower, makes periodic payments toward reducing indebtedness to the lender, who charges, interest at a fixed rate on the unpaid portion of the debt. In practice, the borrower is, required to repay the lender in periodic installments, usually of the same size over a, fixed term, so that the loan (principal plus interest charges) is amortized at the end, of the term. Table 1 gives the monthly loan repayment on a loan of $1000, f(t, r),, where t is the term of the loan in years and r is the interest rate per annum (%/year), compounded monthly. Referring to the table, we see that the monthly installment, for a 30-year loan of $1000 when the current interest rate is 7%/year is given by, f(30, 7) 6.6530 (dollars). Therefore, if the amount borrowed is $350,000, the monthly, repayment is 350(6.6530), or $2328.55.

Also, as in the case of a single variable, unless otherwise specified,, the domain of a function of two variables is the set of all points (x, y) for which, z f(x, y) is a real number., , EXAMPLE 2 Let f(x, y) x 2 xy 2y. Find the domain of f, and evaluate f(1, 2),, , f(2, 1), f(t, 2t), f(x 2, y) , and f(x y, x y)., , Solution Since x 2 xy 2y is a real number whenever (x, y) is an ordered pair of, real numbers, we see that the domain of f is the entire xy-plane.

Observe that this curve divides the xy-plane into two, regions: the points satisfying y 2 x 0 and the points satisfying y 2 x 0., To determine the region of interest, we pick a point in one of the regions, say,, the point (1, 0). Substituting the coordinates x 1 and y 0 into the inequality, y 2 x 0, we obtain 0 1 0, which is false. This shows that the test point, is not contained in the required region. Therefore, the region that does not contain, the test point together with the curve x y 2 is the required domain (Figure 1a)., b. Because the logarithmic function is defined only for positive numbers, we must, have x y 1 0. Furthermore, the denominator of the expression cannot be, zero, so y x 0, or y x. Therefore, the domain of t is, D {(x, y) 冟 x y 1 0 and, , FIGURE 1, , y x}, , To sketch the domain of D, we first draw the graph of the equation, xy10, which is a straight line. The dashed line is used to indicate that points on the line, are not included in D. This line divides the xy-plane into two half-planes. If we, pick the test point (1, 0) and substitute the coordinates x 1 and y 0 into, the inequality x y 1 0, we obtain 2 0, which is true. This computation, tells us that the upper half-plane containing the test point satisfies the inequality, x y 1 0. Next, because y x, all the points lying on the line y x in this, half-plane must be excluded from D.

Since z 0,, we see that the graph of f is just an upper hemisphere (Figure 3).

In most cases the techniques that are used involve plotting the traces of a surface in the vertical planes x k and y k for equally spaced values of k. The program uses a “hidden line” routine that determines what parts of certain traces should, be eliminated to give the illusion of the surface in three dimensions. In the next example we sketch the graph of a function of two variables and then show a computergenerated version of it., , EXAMPLE 5 Let f(x, y) x 2 4y 2., a. Sketch the graph of f., , b.

13.1, , Functions of Two or More Variables, , 1039, , Level Curves, We can visualize the graph of a function of two variables by using level curves. To, define the level curve of a function f of two variables, let z f(x, y) and consider the, trace of f in the plane z k (k, a constant), as shown in Figure 6a. If we project this, trace onto the xy-plane, we obtain a curve C with equation f(x, y) k, called a level, curve of f (Figure 6b)., y, , z, z f (x, y), , f (x, y) k, C, , zk, 0, f (x, y) k, , x, , y, 0, , C, , FIGURE 6, , (a) The level curve C with equation f(x, y) k, is the projection of the trace of f in the, plane z k onto the xy-plane., , x, , (b) The level curve C, , DEFINITION Level Curves, The level curves of a function f of two variables are the curves in the xy-plane, with equations f(x, y) k, where k is a constant in the range of f., Notice that the level curve with equation f(x, y) k is the set of all points in the, domain of f corresponding to the points on the surface z f(x, y) having the same, height or depth k. By drawing the level curves corresponding to several admissible values of k, we obtain a contour map. The map enables us to visualize the surface represented by the graph of z f(x, y): We simply lift or depress the level curve to see the, “cross sections” of the surface.

For example, if k 4, the level curve is the circle with equation x 2 y 2 4, centered at the origin and having radius 2.

For k 0 the level curves have equations, y2, x2, , 1, k, k, or, y2, ( 1k)2, , , , x2, ( 1k)2, , 1, , These curves are a family of hyperbolas with asymptotes y x and vertices, (0, 1k). For example, if k 4, then the level curve is the hyperbola, y2, x2, , 1, 4, 4, with vertices (0, 2)., If k 0, the level curves have equations y 2 x 2 k or x 2 y 2 k, which can, be put in the standard form, x2, ( 1k)2, , , , y2, ( 1k)2, , 1, , and represent a family of hyperbolas with asymptotes y x.

1042, , Chapter 13 Functions of Several Variables, , Aside from their use in constructing topographic maps of mountain ranges, level, curves are found in many areas of practical interest. For example, if T(x, y) denotes the, temperature at a location within the continental United States with longitude x and latitude y at a certain time of day, then the temperature at the point (x, y) is the height, (or depth) of the surface with equation z T(x, y). In this context the level curve, T(x, y) k is a curve superimposed on the map of the United States connecting all, points that have the same temperature at a given time (Figure 11). These level curves, are called isotherms. Similarly, if P(x, y) measures the barometric pressure at the location (x, y), then the level curves of the function P are called isobars. All points on an, isobar P(x, y) k have the same barometric pressure at a given time., 50, , 40, , 30, 30, , 60, , 40, 70, , 50, 60, , 80, , 70, 80, , FIGURE 11, Isotherms: level curves connecting, points that have the same temperature, , 70, , 80, , 80, , Functions of Three Variables and Level Surfaces, A function f of three variables is a rule that assigns to each ordered triple (x, y, z) in a, domain D {(x, y, z) 冟 x, y, z 僆 R} a unique real number w denoted by f(x, y, z). For, example, the volume V of a rectangular box of length x, width y, and height z can be, described by the function f defined by f(x, y, z) xyz., , EXAMPLE 8 Find the domain of the function f defined by, f(x, y, z) 1x y z xeyz, Solution f(x, y, z) is a real number provided that x y z 0 or, equivalently,, z x y. Therefore, the domain of f is, D {(x, y, z) 冟 z, , x y}, , This is the half-space consisting of all points lying on or below the plane z x y., , Since the graph of a function of three variables is composed of the points, (x, y, z, w), where w f(x, y, z), lying in four-dimensional space, we cannot draw the, graphs of such functions. But by examining the level surfaces, which are the surfaces, with equations, f(x, y, z) k, , k, a constant, , we are often able to gain some insight into the nature of f.

13.2, , Limits and Continuity, , 1049, , DEFINITION Limit of a Function of Two Variables at a Point, Let f be a function that is defined for all points (x, y) close to the point (a, b), with the possible exception of (a, b) itself. Then the limit of f(x, y) as (x, y), approaches (a, b) is L, written, lim, , (x, y)→(a, b), , f(x, y) L, , if f(x, y) can be made as close to L as we please by restricting (x, y) to be sufficiently close to (a, b)., , y, , (a, b), , 0, , FIGURE 2, There are infinitely many paths the, point (x, y) could take in approaching, the point (a, b)., , x, , At first glance, there appears to be little difference between this definition and the, definition of the limit of a function of one variable, with the exception that the points, (x, y) and (a, b) lie in the plane. But there are subtle differences. In the case of a function of one variable, the point x can approach the point x a from only two directions: from the left and from the right. As a consequence, the function f has a limit L, as x approaches a if and only if f(x) approaches L from the left (lim x→a f(x) L) and, from the right (lim x→a f(x) L), a fact that we observed in Section 1.1., The situation is a little more complicated in the case of a function of two variables, because there are infinitely many ways in which we can approach a point (a, b) in the, plane (Figure 2). Thus, if f has a limit L as (x, y) approaches (a, b) , then f(x, y) must, approach L along every possible path leading to (a, b)., To see why this is true, suppose that, f(x, y) → L 1, , as, , (x, y) → (a, b), , f(x, y) → L 2, , as, , (x, y) → (a, b), , along a path C1 and that, along another path C2, where L 1 L 2. Then no matter how close (x, y) is to (a, b),, f(x, y) will assume values that are close to L 1 and also values that are close to L 2 depending on whether (x, y) is on C1 or on C2. Therefore, f(x, y) cannot be made as close as, we please to a unique number L by restricting (x, y) to be sufficiently close to (a, b);, that is, lim (x, y)→(a, b) f(x, y) cannot exist., An immediate consequence of this observation is the following criterion for demonstrating that a limit does not exist., , Technique for Showing That lim (x, y)→(a, b) f(x, y) Does Not Exist, If f(x, y) approaches two different numbers as (x, y) approaches (a, b) along two, different paths, then lim (x, y)→(a, b) f(x, y) L does not exist., , EXAMPLE 1 Show that, , lim, , (x, y)→(0, 0), , x 2 y2, x 2 y2, , does not exist., , Solution The function f(x, y) (x 2 y 2)>(x 2 y 2) is defined everywhere except at, (0, 0). Let’s approach (0, 0) along the x-axis (see Figure 3). On the path C1, y 0, so, lim, (x, y)→(0, 0), along C1, , f(x, y) lim f(x, 0) lim, x→0, , x→0, , x2, x2, , lim 1 1, x→0

On the path C3, y = x, so, , yx, , 0, , y2, , x, , (x, 0), , (0, y), , y→0, , y 2, , Since f(x, y) approaches two different numbers as (x, y) approaches (0, 0) along two, different paths, we conclude that the given limit does not exist., , C1, 0, , f(x, y) lim f(0, y) lim, , x, , FIGURE 4, f(x, y) → 0 as (x, y) → (0, 0) along, C1 and C2, but f(x, y) → 12 as, (x, y) → (0, 0) along C3, so, lim (x, y)→(0, 0) f(x, y) does not exist., , (x, y)→(0, 0), along C3, , f(x, y) lim f(x, x) lim, x→0, , x→0, , x2, x2 x2, , lim, , x→0, , 1, 1, , 2, 2, , Since f(x, y) approaches two different numbers as (x, y) approaches (0, 0) along two, different paths, we conclude that the given limit does not exist., The graph of f shown in Figure 5 confirms this result visually. Notice the ridge that, occurs above the line y x because f(x, y) 12 for all points (x, y) on that line except, at the origin., z, y, , x, , FIGURE 5, xy, The graph of f(x, y) 2, x y2, , Although the method of Examples 1 and 2 is effective in demonstrating when a, limit does not exist, it cannot be used to prove the existence of the limit of a function, at a point. Using this method, we would have to show that f(x, y) approaches a unique, number L as (x, y) approaches the point along every path, which is clearly an impossible task. Fortunately, the Limit Laws for a function of a single variable can be extended, to functions of two or more variables. For example, the Sum Law, the Product Law,, the Quotient Law, and so forth, all hold. So does the Squeeze Theorem.

This suggests that when x and y are both close to zero,, the numerator is much smaller than the denominator, and we suspect that the limit, might exist and that it is equal to zero., To prove our assertion, we observe that y 2 0, so x 2>(x 2 y 2) 1.

1052, , Chapter 13 Functions of Several Variables, , DEFINITION Continuity at a Point, Let f be a function that is defined for all points (x, y) close to the point (a, b)., Then f is continuous at the point (a, b) if, lim, , (x, y)→(a, b), , f(x, y) f(a, b), , Thus, f is continuous at (a, b) if f(x, y) approaches f(a, b) as (x, y) approaches (a, b), along any path. Loosely speaking, a function f is continuous at a point (a, b) if the graph, of f does not have a hole, gap, or jump at (a, b). If f is not continuous at (a, b), then f, is said to be discontinuous there. For example, the functions f, t, and h whose graphs, are shown in Figure 6 are discontinuous at the indicated points., z, , z, , z, (c, d, g(c, d)), , 0, , FIGURE 6, , 0, , 0, y, , (a, b), , x, , z h(x, y), , z g(x, y), , z f (x, y), , (c, d), , x, , (a) f is not defined at (a, b)., , (b), , lim, , (x, y) → (c, d), , g(x, y) g(c, d), , y, , y, x, (c), , lim, , (x, y) → (0, 0), , h(x, y) does not exist., , y, , Continuity on a Set, , ∂, (a, b), , N∂, , Let’s digress a little to introduce some terminology. We define the D-neighborhood, about (a, b) to be the set, Nd {(x, y) 冟 2(x a)2 (y b)2 d}, x, , 0, , FIGURE 7, The d-neighborhood about (a, b), y, Interior, point, Boundary, point, , Thus, Nd is just the set of all points lying inside the circle of radius d centered at (a, b), (see Figure 7)., Let R be a plane region. A point (a, b) is said to be an interior point of R if there, exists a d-neighborhood about (a, b) that lies entirely in R (Figure 8). A point (a, b) is, called a boundary point of R if every d-neighborhood of R contains points in R and, also points not in R., A region R is said to be an open region if every point of R is an interior point of, R. A region is closed if it contains all of its boundary points. Finally, a region that contains some but not all of its boundary points is neither open nor closed.

The following definition explains what we mean by continuity on a region., , DEFINITION Continuity on a Region, Let R be a region in the plane. Then f is continuous on R if f is continuous at, every point (x, y) in R. If (a, b) is a boundary point, the condition for continuity is modified to read, lim, , (x, y)→(a, b), , f(x, y) f(a, b), , where (x, y) 僆 R, that is, (x, y) is restricted to approach (a, b) along paths lying, inside R., , EXAMPLE 5 Show that the function f defined by f(x, y) 29 x 2 y 2 is contin-, , uous on the closed region R {(x, y) 冟 x 2 y 2 9}, which is the set of all points lying, on and inside the circle of radius 3 centered at (0, 0) in the xy-plane., Solution Observe that the set R is precisely the domain of f. Now, if (a, b) is any interior point of R, then, lim, , (x, y)→(a, b), , f(x, y) , , lim, , (x, y)→(a, b), , 2, , lim, , 29 x 2 y 2, , (x, y)→(a, b), , (9 x 2 y 2), , 29 a 2 b 2, f(a, b), This shows that f is continuous at (a, b)., Next, if (c, d) is a boundary point of R and (x, y) is restricted to lie inside R, we, obtain, lim, , (x, y)→(c, d), , f(x, y) f(c, d), , as before, thus showing that f is continuous at (c, d) as well., The graph of f is the upper hemisphere of radius 3 centered at the origin together, with the circle in the xy-plane having equation x 2 y 2 9.

For example, the function f defined by, f(x, y) 2x 2y 5 3xy 3 8xy 2 3y 4, is a polynomial function in the two variables x and y. A rational function is the quotient of two polynomial functions. For example, the function t defined by, t(x, y) , , x 3 xy y 2, x 2 y2, , is a rational function., , THEOREM 2 Continuity of Polynomial and Rational Functions, A polynomial function is continuous everywhere (that is, in the whole plane)., A rational function is continuous at all points in its domain (that is, at all points, where its denominator is defined and not equal to zero)., , EXAMPLE 6 Determine where the function is continuous:, a. f(x, y) , , xy(x 2 y 2), x y, 2, , 2, , b. t(x, y) , , 1, y x2

1056, , Chapter 13 Functions of Several Variables, , Solution, a. We can view the function F as the composition t ⴰ f of the functions f and t, defined by f(x, y) xy and t(t) sin t. Thus,, F(x, y) t( f(x, y)) sin ( f(x, y)) sin xy, Since f is continuous on the whole plane and t is continuous on (⬁, ⬁), we conclude that F is continuous everywhere. The graph of F is shown in Figure 13a., b. The function G is the quotient of p(x, y) 12 cos(2x 2 y 2) and q(x, y) , 1 2x 2 y 2. The function p in turn involves the composition of t(t) 12 cos t, and f(x, y) 2x 2 y 2. Since both f and t are continuous everywhere, we, see that p is continuous everywhere. The function q is continuous everywhere, as well and is never zero.

For example, if f is a function of three variables, then we write, lim, , (x, y, z)→(a, b, c), , f(x, y, z) L, , to mean that there exists a number L such that f(x, y, z) can be made as close to L as, we please by restricting (x, y, z) to be sufficiently close to (a, b, c)., , EXAMPLE 8 Evaluate, , limp, , e2y(sin x cos y), , (x, y, z)→( 2 , 0, 1), , 1 y2 z2, , Solution, limp, , (x, y, z)→( 2 , 0, 1), , e2y(sin x cos y), 1y z, 2, , 2, , , , ., , e0[sin (p>2) cos 0], 101, , A function f of three variables is continuous at (a, b, c) if, lim, , (x, y, z)→(a, b, c), , f(x, y, z) f(a, b, c), , , , 2, 1, 2

The situation becomes more complicated, however,, when we study the rate of change of a function of two or more variables. For example, for the function of two variables defined by the equation z f(x, y), both the independent variables x and y may be allowed to vary in some arbitrary fashion, thus making it unclear what we mean by the phrase “the rate of change of z with respect to x, and y.”, One way of getting around this difficulty is to hold one variable constant and consider the rate of change of f with respect to the other variable. This approach might be, familiar to anyone who has used the expression “everything else being equal” while, debating the merits of a complicated issue.

Then the, function that is defined by z f(x, b) is a function of the single variable x. Its graph, is the curve C formed by the intersection of the vertical plane y b and the surface, z f(x, y) (Figure 1)., Therefore, the quantity, , z, T, C, (a, b, f (a, b)), z f (x, y), , f(a h, b) f(a, b), h→0, h, lim, , 0, yb, , y, (a, b), , x, , FIGURE 1, f(a h, b) f(a, b), lim, measures, h→0, h, the slope of T and the rate of change, of f(x, y) in the x-direction when, x a and y b., z, , (a, b, f(a, b)), , if it exists, measures both the slope of the tangent line T to the curve C at the point, (a, b, f(a, b)) as well as the rate of change of f(x, y) with respect to x (in the xdirection) with y held constant when x a and y b., Similarly, the quantity, f(a, b h) f(a, b), h→0, h, lim, , xa, , T, , 0, , x, , DEFINITIONS Partial Derivatives of a Function of Two Variables, Let z f(x, y).

Therefore, we may replace (a, b) by (x, y), leading to the following definitions., , z f (x, y), C, , (1), , f, f(x h, y) f(x, y), lim, x h→0, h, and the partial derivative of f with respect to y is, f, f(x, y h) f(x, y), lim, y h→0, h, provided that each limit exists., , Computing Partial Derivatives, The partial derivatives of f can be calculated by using the following rules., , Computing Partial Derivatives, To compute f> x, treat y as a constant and differentiate in the usual manner, with respect to x (an operation that we denote by > x)., To compute f> y, treat x as a constant and differentiate in the usual manner with respect to y (an operation that we denote by > y).

For example,, suppose that f is a function of three variables defined by w f(x, y, z). Then the partial derivative of f with respect to x is defined as, f, f(x h, y, z) f(x, y, z), w, , lim, x, x h→0, h, where y and z are held fixed, provided that the limit exists. The other two partial derivatives, f> y and f> z, are defined in a similar manner., , Finding the Partial Derivative of a Function of More Than Two Variables, To find the partial derivative of a function of more than two variables with respect, to a certain variable, say x, we treat all the other variables as if they are constants and differentiate with respect to x in the usual manner.

His father, a mathematics teacher in Paris, educated his son, at home with very high standards: Alexis, was taught to read using Euclid’s Elements., As a result of both nature and nurture,, Clairaut turned out to be a very precocious, mathematician. He studied calculus by the, age of 10 and wrote an original mathematical paper at 13. At 18 he published his first, paper; he also became the youngest member ever admitted to the prestigious Academie des Sciences. Clairaut excelled in, many areas of mathematics, including, geometry, calculus, and celestial mechanics. He was the first to prove the prediction, by Isaac Newton and the astronomer Christiaan Huygens that the earth is an oblate, ellipsoid. Clairaut also accurately predicted, the return of Halley’s comet in 1759, a prediction that made him famous. Clairaut, developed the notation for partial derivatives that we still use today, and he was, the first to prove that mixed second-order, partial derivatives of a function at a point, are equal if the derivatives are continuous, at that point., , fxy , fyx , fyy , , x, y, x, y, , fx , fx , fy , fy , , x, y, x, y, , (2y 2 6x y 3) 6, (2y 2 6x y 3) 4y 3y 2, (4xy 3xy 2) 4y 3y 2, (4xy 3xy 2) 4x 6xy, , Notice that the mixed derivatives fxy and fyx in Example 9 are equal. The following, theorem, which we state without proof, gives the conditions under which this is true., , THEOREM 1 Clairaut’s Theorem, If f(x, y) and its partial derivatives fx, fy, fxy, and fyx are continuous on an open, region R, then, fxy(x, y) fyx(x, y), for all (x, y) in R., , A function u of two variables x and y is called a harmonic function if u xx u yy 0, for all (x, y) in the domain of u. Harmonic functions are used in the study of heat conduction, fluid flow, and potential theory. The partial differential equation u xx u yy 0, is called Laplace’s equation, named for Pierre Laplace (1749–1827).
