1. Functions of Two Variables

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Function of Two Variables : assigns a unique real number f(x,y) to each ordered pair (x,y) in its domain D

Essential Points

  • An n-tuple (x₁,x₂,…,xₙ) is an ordered set of n elements used as the input of a function of several variables.

2. Domains of Multivariable Functions

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Function Domain : the subset of ℝ² containing every ordered pair for which the function is defined

Essential Points

  • For f₁(x,y)=(-x²+y³-5)/(x-1), the domain is Df1={(x,y)∈R2∣x≠1}D_{f_1}=\{(x,y)\in\mathbb{R}^2\mid x\ne1\} because the denominator cannot be zero.
