Math Problem Statement

Find the limit of the function f(n, y) as n approaches 2 and y approaches 2 for f(n, y) = (n^2 + ny + n + y) / (n + y).

Solution

The given function is:

f(n,y)=limn2,y2n2+ny+n+yn+yf(n, y) = \lim_{n \to 2, y \to 2} \frac{n^2 + ny + n + y}{n + y}

Let's compute the limit as n2n \to 2 and y2y \to 2. First, substitute n=2n = 2 and y=2y = 2 directly into the function:

n2+ny+n+yn+y\frac{n^2 + ny + n + y}{n + y}

Substituting n=2n = 2 and y=2y = 2:

= \frac{4 + 4 + 2 + 2}{4} = \frac{12}{4} = 3$$ Therefore, the value of the limit is: $$f(n, y) = 3$$ Would you like more details on any specific steps? Here are 5 related questions to explore further: 1. How do you compute limits of multivariable functions in general? 2. What happens if a limit doesn't exist for some function? 3. How would the limit change if the function was undefined at a specific point? 4. Can you find limits at infinity for this function? 5. How does L'Hôpital's rule apply in solving indeterminate limits? **Tip:** When calculating limits of multivariable functions, always check if you can directly substitute the variables, or if simplifying the expression first might help avoid indeterminate forms.
