I just finished a multivariable calculus course and went to check my final.
This is one of the problems I got wrong.
Does anyone know how to graph this properly?

It's a degenerate hyperbola
x^2 = y^2
=>
± x= ± y
That's both lines
>>8048488
Sorry, should really change
± x= ± y
into
x = ± y.
Same thing.
>>8048474
are you talking about the function [math]f(x,y)=cos(1/(y^{2}-x^{2}))[/math] ?
be more specific
>>8048495
Yes
>>8048554
You can't graph that, not by hand. Try putting it in wolfram alpha.

>you cant graph that
what are you talking about? you can't be serious...
you can take the first derivative to get an idea about the slopes, minima/maxima, second derivative to determine if mix/max, etc.
this is typical multivariate calculus material. did you even get past babby trigonometry? try to think about OPs problem next time before you choke on your own saliva

kek, enjoy your business degree math

i did my first real analysis course simultaneously with multivariate cal
i never said multivariate cal was taught well, just that plotting functions is a typical part of the curriculum

Then fucking graph it. Why type all that if it's so trivial?

it's forms an 'X' type depression in a plane corresponding to approx. z = 1 where the 'X' is the neighbourhood y = x and y = -x where we see the graph "explodes" in periodicity similar to a trigonometric function y = sin(1/x) as we approach x = 0.
