      i think that the mistake is in (x,y)->(2,3) , it would be (x,y)->(3,2) for the indetermitation.
      good videos! thanks :)

    5:53 I would point out that the numerator factors by grouping. I think that would clear some of the ambiguity of guessing and checking how the multivariable polynomial could be factored. In general, factoring a multivariable polynomial involves some kind of factoring by grouping, a concept familiar to many from algebra class.

  • @madghostek3026
    @madghostek3026 Před 2 lety +1

    6:30 here's a explaination why its allowed to cancel these out without disturbing the limit (this applies for single variable limits as well):
    lim (x,y)->(3,2) (y^2+2)(x-3)/y(3-x) = (y^2+2)/y * -(x-3)/(x-3)
    the first term is continuous at 3,2 so the limit is just value of function, equals 11/3.
    The second term is pretty much a piecewise function of form :
    {undefined for x=3, 1 for any other x}.
    Now, recall the scary epsilon delta definition of limit, if you can find arbitrarily small region around x0 (not necessarily including x0), where value of function is arbitrarily close to some value L, then the L is a limit at x0. From the piecewise form we clearly see the function is 1 everywhere but at x=3, so clearly the limit will be L=1.
    So by cancelling we are removing a discontinuity, I actually don't exactly know why algebraic cancelling works, maybe it just happens to, but it can be justified by this longer proof.

    Sir there was three in the denominator. So we could plug the values of x and y directly, i guess. (3y-xy)

  • @ryan811
    @ryan811 Před rokem +3

    You have great videos but there is a mistake here. You have (x,y) going to (2,3) meaning x is 2 and y is 3. Substituting those values into the denominator 3(3) - 2(3) = 3, not zero. Likewise, the numerator goes to -11. I think that perhaps you meant (x,y) is going to (3,2)?

    Hi, I had a question, but firstly great video and thank you for making series like these :)
    So I was wondering in the conjugate example, why do we need that restriction, should we be able to still evaluate the limit in the same way without it, and if not, how do we know when we don't have restrictions, that the limit is undefined? Also another question I had was, if a limit goes to multiple values depending on the path, is there a way we can define the set of all values it approaches? It seems that it is against the spirit of limits to just say it doesn't exist and then job finished, isnt it is better to make a distinction between a limit that really doesn't exist anywhere on the function and a limit that exists for a set of restrictions and can be defined in a set of real numbers?

    • @nayjer2576
      @nayjer2576 Před rokem +1

      I think you have to decline it at first but can allow that x + y = 4, when you canceled out the one term.

    At 6:13, in order to explain the cancellation would it be more straightforward to factorise a -1 from the (x-3) or (3-x) to cancel the the notation out? It seems more intuitive to explain that way.
    A huge fan of the series by the way. Thanks for putting together!

    i did the second example in factoring the numerator with (x + y - 4) = (sqrt(x + y) - 2)(sqrt(x + y) + 2)
    and then canceling the (sqrt(x + y) - 2) in the bottom
    it turns out to be the same thing

  • @alessiabognolo7662

    What could we do in situations when we cannot apply these tricks? For example if we have some ugly function/limit like (y*x^2)/(x^4 +y^2) as (x,y) tends to (0,0)?
