Examine for differentiability at the point multivariable function

42 Views Asked by At

function $\mathcal R^m\to R$: $f(x,y) = y + \cos \sqrt[3]{x^2 + y^2}, M(0,0)$

What I found out is that, obviously, $f'_x = \frac{-2x\sin\sqrt[3]{x^2 + y^2}}{3(x^2 + y^2)^\frac{2}{3}}$ and $f'_y =1- \frac{2y\sin\sqrt[3]{x^2 + y^2}}{3(x^2 + y^2)^\frac{2}{3}}$ in this point couldn't be calculated and the function itself is continious. But as I got it, I need to prove that both $f'_x$ and $f'_y$ continious at that point to prove differentiability. But I got stacked at this moment.

Note that function can be not differentiable at all, just couldn't prove that by myself either.

Note that by the definition we have that

  • $f'_x(0,0)=0$
  • $f'_y(0,0)=1$

then apply the definition to check differentiability

$$\lim_{(h,k)\rightarrow (0,0)} \frac{\| f(h,k)-f(0,0)-(f_x(0,0),f_y(0,0))\cdot (h,k)\|}{\| (h,k)\|}\stackrel{?}=0$$

that is

$$\lim_{(h,k)\rightarrow (0,0)} \frac{k + \cos \sqrt[3]{h^2 + k^2}-1-k}{\sqrt{h^2 + k^2}}\stackrel{?}=0$$
