Let f:R2→R be defined by
f(x,y)={(x2+y2)sin(1√x2+y2)when (x,y)≠(0,0)0when (x,y)=(0,0)
Show that f is differentiable at (0,0) but the ith partial derivative of f is not continuous at (0,0)
My guess is that the derivative at (0,0) will be 0 since the function is 0 at the point. However, I am facing some trouble proving it with the help of the definition. And I am also confused about what to do once I have proven it using the definition.
Answer
The differential at origin is Df(0,0)=(0,0) (not 0∈R) iff the following limit is zero:
lim
\lim_{(x,y)\to(0,0)}\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}\sin(1/(\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}))=0.
But for (x,y)\ne(0,0)
{\partial f\over\partial x}(x,y)=2\,x\,\sin \left({{1}\over{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}}\right)-{{x\,\cos \left( {{1}\over{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}}\right)}\over{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}}
and {\partial f\over\partial x} is discontinuous at (0,0) because
{\partial f\over\partial x}(0,0)=0\ne \lim_{x\to 0}{\partial f\over\partial x}(x,0)= \lim_{x\to 0}2\,x\,\sin\left({1\over|x|}\right)-{{x\,\cos \left( {{1}\over |x|}\right)}\over|x|}=0-\not\exists=\not\exists.
(the 2D limit can't \exists is some directional limit \not\exists)
