In Exercises 8 through 17, determine the region of continuity of $f$ and draw a sketch showing as a shaded region in $R^{2}$ the region of continuity of $f$.
f(x, y)=\frac{y}{\sqrt{x^{2}-y^{2}-4}}

Key Concepts

Constraints from Radicals

When a function includes a square root, the radicand (the expression inside the square root) must be carefully checked. This is because the square root is defined only for non-negative values in the real number system, and if the square root appears in the denominator, additional restrictions apply to avoid division by zero.

Domain of a Function

In analyzing functions of several variables, determining the domain means finding all points in the input space for which the function is defined. For functions involving square roots, it is essential to ensure that the expression inside the radical meets any necessary conditions (typically non-negativity) and that there are no divisions by zero.

Continuity in Multivariable Functions

Continuity in the context of functions of several variables refers to the property that a function does not experience any abrupt changes in value. A function is continuous at a point if the limit as the inputs approach that point equals the function’s value there, and it is continuous on a set if this condition holds at every point within that set. Importantly, the region of continuity is a subset of the domain where the function behaves smoothly.

Graphing Regions in R²

Graphing regions in the two-dimensional plane involves shading the area that satisfies the set of inequalities and conditions that define the function’s domain or region of continuity. This visualization helps in understanding how the function behaves over different parts of the plane and is especially useful when the constraints involve relationships between x and y.
