- Function of 1 variable .f(x)=sin(x)
- Function of 2 variables:
given(x, y) → \rightarrow →get a number f(x, y)
Example f ( x , y ) = x 2 + y 2 f(x,y)=x^2+y^2 f(x,y)=x2+y2
f(x, y)=temperature at point (x, y) - or …3 or more parameters!
How to visualize f of 2 variables?
→ \rightarrow →gragh: z=f(x, y)
Ex:
f ( x , y ) = 1 − x 2 − y 2 f(x,y)=1-x^2-y^2 f(x,y)=1−x2−y2
→ \rightarrow →in y-z plane: x = 0 , z = 1 − y 2 x=0,z=1-y^2 x=0,z=1−y2
→ \rightarrow →in x-z plane: $y=0,z=1-x^2
→ \rightarrow →in x-y plane: z = 0 , 1 − x 2 − y 2 = 0 z=0,1-x^2-y^2=0 z=0,1−x
