Question: Evaluate the two-variable limit: $$\lim _{(x, y) \rightarrow(4,5)} \frac{\sqrt{x+y}-3}{x+y-9}$$ Answer: \(\frac{1}{6}\)

Step by step solution

01

Simplify the expression.

Our goal is to find a simplification of the expression that will allow us to find the limit as \((x,y) \rightarrow (4,5)\). Our first goal is to see if the denominator contains any factors that can be canceled out when simplified. To do that, we need to factor the denominator. However, in this case, the denominator, \(x+y-9\), does not factor so we move on to the next step.
02

Rationalize the numerator.

In some problems, we can cancel out factors in the denominator by rationalizing the numerator. To do this, we can multiply the expression by the conjugate of the numerator. The conjugate of \(\sqrt{x+y}-3\) is \(\sqrt{x+y}+3\). Multiply both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate: $$\frac{\sqrt{x+y}-3}{x+y-9}\times \frac{\sqrt{x+y}+3}{\sqrt{x+y}+3}$$
03

Multiply and simplify.

Now, let's simplify the expression by multiplying the numerators and the denominators: $$\frac{(\sqrt{x+y}-3)(\sqrt{x+y}+3)}{(x+y-9)(\sqrt{x+y}+3)}$$ Using the difference of squares formula \((a-b)(a+b) = a^2 - b^2\), we get: $$\frac{(\sqrt{x+y})^2 - 3^2}{(x+y-9)(\sqrt{x+y}+3)}$$ We simplify the numerator: $$\frac{x+y-9}{(x+y-9)(\sqrt{x+y}+3)}$$
04

Cancel out common factors.

We can now cancel out the common factor of \(x+y-9\) in the numerator and denominator: $$\frac{x+y-9}{(x+y-9)(\sqrt{x+y}+3)} \times \frac{1}{x+y-9} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x+y}+3}$$
05

Evaluate the limit.

Now let's substitute the coordinates \((4,5)\) into the simplified expression to find the limit: $$\lim _{(x, y) \rightarrow(4,5)} \frac{1}{\sqrt{x+y}+3} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{4+5}+3}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{9}+3} = \frac{1}{3+3} = \frac{1}{6}$$ The given limit is evaluated as follows: $$\lim _{(x, y) \rightarrow(4,5)} \frac{\sqrt{x+y}-3}{x+y-9} = \frac{1}{6}$$

Identify and briefly describe the surfaces defined by the following equations. $$y=x^{2} / 6+z^{2} / 16$$

Show that the following two functions have two local maxima but no other extreme points (thus no saddle or basin between the mountains). a. \(f(x, y)=-\left(x^{2}-1\right)^{2}-\left(x^{2}-e^{y}\right)^{2}\) b. \(f(x, y)=4 x^{2} e^{y}-2 x^{4}-e^{4 y}\)

Consider the ellipse \(x^{2}+4 y^{2}=1\) in the \(x y\) -plane. a. If this ellipse is revolved about the \(x\) -axis, what is the equation of the resulting ellipsoid? b. If this ellipse is revolved about the \(y\) -axis, what is the equation of the resulting ellipsoid?

A function of one variable has the property that a local maximum (or minimum) occurring at the only critical point is also the absolute maximum (or minimum) (for example, \(f(x)=x^{2}\) ). Does the same result hold for a function of two variables? Show that the following functions have the property that they have a single local maximum (or minimum), occurring at the only critical point, but that the local maximum (or minimum) is not an absolute maximum (or minimum) on \(\mathbb{R}^{2}\). a. \(f(x, y)=3 x e^{y}-x^{3}-e^{3 y}\) b. \(f(x, y)=\left(2 y^{2}-y^{4}\right)\left(e^{x}+\frac{1}{1+x^{2}}\right)-\frac{1}{1+x^{2}}\) This property has the following interpretation. Suppose that a surface has a single local minimum that is not the absolute minimum. Then water can be poured into the basin around the local minimum and the surface never overflows, even though there are points on the surface below the local minimum.

Use the method of your choice to ate the following limits. $$\lim _{(x, y) \rightarrow(1,0)} \frac{y \ln y}{x}$$
