1828. Through the po<strong>in</strong>t M(l,2, 6) of a surface z = 2x*+y*<br />

are drawn planes parallel to the coord<strong>in</strong>ate surfaces XOZ and<br />

YOZ. Determ<strong>in</strong>e the angles formed with the coord<strong>in</strong>ate axes by<br />

the tangent l<strong>in</strong>es (to the result<strong>in</strong>g cross-sections) drawn at their<br />

common po<strong>in</strong>t M.<br />

and, us<strong>in</strong>g<br />

has partial derivatives fx (x, y) and fy (x, y) at the po<strong>in</strong>t (0,0),<br />

although it is discont<strong>in</strong>uous at this po<strong>in</strong>t. Construct the geometric<br />

image of this function near the po<strong>in</strong>t (0, 0).<br />

Sec. 4. Total Differential of a Function<br />

1. Total <strong>in</strong>crement of a function. The total <strong>in</strong>crement of a function<br />

z = /(*i y) is the difference<br />

Az-Af (x, #)--=/(*+ Ax, + Aj/)-f (*, y).<br />

2. The total differential of a function. The total (or exact) differential of<br />

a function z f(x, y) is the pr<strong>in</strong>cipal part of the total <strong>in</strong>crement Az, which<br />

is l<strong>in</strong>ear with respect to the <strong>in</strong>crements <strong>in</strong> the arguments Ax and A//.<br />

The difference between the total <strong>in</strong>crement and the total differential of<br />

the function is<br />

A function<br />

an <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>itesimal<br />

def<strong>in</strong>itely has a<br />

of higher order compared with Q \^&x* + At/*.<br />

total differential if its partial derivatives are<br />

cont<strong>in</strong>uous. If a function has a total differential, then it is called different<br />

table. The differentials of <strong>in</strong>dependent variables co<strong>in</strong>cide with their <strong>in</strong>crements,<br />

that is, dx=kx and dy=ky. The total differential of the function<br />

z = /(x, y) is computed by the 'formula<br />

, dz . dz .<br />

,<br />

d2= dX<br />

=^ + dy<br />

Similarly, the total differential of a function of three arguments u =/ (x, y, z)<br />

is computed from the formula<br />
