How do you check the continuity of a multivariable function in a region bounded by two or more curves in the xy plane?
If the limit exists on every point of the function
It's kinda hard to show that a limit exists with multivariables since we can approach any point in the function in infinity ways
Everything that we used in single variables carries over like the squeeze theorem
ok so i want to check the continuity of (x^4+4y^2) in the region bounded by y=x^2 and y=2x, which is continuous obviously, shouldn't there be a more concrete method to do the same for more complex functions
The function is going to be continuous on all points in a polynomial. Unless you have have a function that is devided by the variables like in \[xy ^{2}/ x ^{2} + y ^{4} \] in this case the function is not continuous at (0,0) because \[\lim_{(x,y) \rightarrow (0,0)} x*y ^{2}/x ^{2}+ y ^{4} \] does not exists
but for functions which are discontinuous at more than one point, or for trigonometric functions with infinite discontinuities, how can you say that a function is continuous in a region or not??
