(10/7/08)Math 10C. Lecture Examples.Sections 12.1, 12.2, and 12.3. Functions of two variables†Example 1 (a) What is the domain of f(x, y) = x2+ y2? (b) What are the valuesf(2, 3) and f(−2, −3) of this function at (2,3) and (−2, −3)? (c) What isits range?Answer: (a) The domain of f is the entire xy-plane. (b) f (2, 3) = 13 • f (−2, −3) = 13. (c) The range off is the closed infinite interval [0, ∞).Example 2 Determine the shape of the surface z = x2+ y2in xyz-space by studyingits cross sections in the planes x = c perpendicular to the x-axis.Answer: The intersection of the surface z = x2+ y2with the plane x = c is a parabola that opens upward andwhose vertex is at the origin if c = 0 and is c2units a bove the xy-plane if c 6= 0 • Figure A2a • The surfacehas the bowl-like shape in Figure A2byxzx = cc2Figure A2a Figure A2b†Lecture notes to accompany Sections 12.1, 12.2, and 12.3 of Calculus by Hughes-Hallett et al.1Math 10C.
