Problem set 3
1. Prove that lim(x,y)(0,0) f (x, y) = 0, where
(
x sin y1 = 0 if y 6= 0,
(a) f (x, y) =
0
otherwise.

(b) f (x, y) = p

xy
x2 + y 2

2. Let f be a real valued function defined near a point p in Rn except possibly at p itself. If
lim f (x) = l 6= 0,

xp

prove that there exists an open ball B(p, r) such that for x B(p, r) \ {p}, f (x) has the same sign as l.
3. Let

(
f (x, y) =

0
1

if y 0 or y x2 ,
if 0 < y < x2 .

Is f continuous at (0, 0)?


4. Show that the function

(
1

e (xy)2
f (x, y) =
0

if x 6= y,
otherwise,

is continuous at every point of R2 .


5. Suppose that p, q Rn and p 6= q. Construct a continuous function f : Rn [0, 1] such that f (p) = 0,
f (q) = 1.
6. In each of the following cases, determine whether T : R2 R is linear:
(a) T (x, y) = x + y + 10,

(b) T (x, y) = ex + y,

(c) T (x, y) = x.

7. Let T : Rn R be a linear map. Prove that there exists a constant c > 0 such that
|T x| c|x|
n

for all x R .
