# domain of multivariable function

#### xl5899

from the graph of x and y shown , we know that the x and y value cant be exceed 3 , since it's a circle , why the domain for x and y is x and y can be any number (R) ?

It's not.

It's $x \in \mathbb{R}, ~~y \in \mathbb{R}$ SUCH THAT $x^2 + y^2 \leq 9$

why not ? x^2 + y^2 is a graph of circlre with radius 3 , am i right ? beyond r= 3 , the function is undefined , right ?

you asked why the domain was $x \in \mathbb{R}, ~~y \in \mathbb{R}$

the domain is not this

it's this plus the constraint that $(x,y)$ be a point on the interior or boundary of a circle centered at the origin of radius 3.

so the domain is x<3 and y<3 ?

Just as Romsek said, less than and equal to 3. You can have x=3 and y=0 or y=3 and x=0

No. This is a square region.

The domain is $x, y \in \mathbb{R} \ni x^2 + y^2 \leq 9$

But the problem is when x or y more than 3, then it would be outside the shaded region.... How can domain of x be any number true??

It's not. $$\displaystyle x=4$$ violates the second part of the condition $$\displaystyle x^2+y^2 \le 9$$ as does $$\displaystyle x=y=3$$.

Since you said x=4 viiolates the second condition, so , x should be less than 3 , am I right???
