    How do you know a function is well defined?

    I realize that my question probably sounds pretty idiotic with or without the problem statement. But what I'm confused about is if it's not continuous at the origin, then it can't be differentiable at the origin. So then how is it defined everywhere? Does the second part of the piecewise take...

    How do you know a function is well defined?

    So 1 is definitely true, but what does it mean to be a well defined partial derivative?

    How do you know a function is well defined?

    Homework Statement I was given the following function f(x,y) = \begin{cases} \frac{x^2y}{x^4+y^2} & (x,y) \neq 0 \\ 0 & (x,y) = 0 \end{cases} Which of the following are true? (I) f is not continuous at (0, 0). (II) f is differentiable everywhere (III) f as a well defined partial...

    Determine the order of a subset of S_n

    Homework Statement We have a set S = {a,b,c,d} and a set X such that X = {##f:S \rightarrow S| ## f is bijective and ## f(x) \neq x## for each ##x \in S##}. What is the order of the set? 2. Attempt at Solution/My Reasoning The order of the set of all bijective functions is simply the 4...
