Question: Let V be open in Rn, a V, and f : V Rm. a) Prove that Duf(a) exists for u = ek if and only

Let V be open in Rn, a ˆˆ V, and f : V †’ Rm.
a) Prove that Duf(a) exists for u = ek if and only if fxk (a) exists, in which case
Let V be open in Rn, a ˆˆ V, and

b) Show that if f has directional derivatives at a in all directions u, then the first-order partial derivatives of f exist at a. Use Example 11.11 to show that the converse of this statement is false.
c) Prove that the directional derivates of

Let V be open in Rn, a ˆˆ V, and

exist at (0, 0) in all directions u, but f is neither continuous nor differentiable at (0, 0).

at Def(a) = (a). r2y f(x, y) = 1K4+y2 (x,y)(0, 0) (x, y) = (0, 0)
