Answer

as $$ ( \Delta x, \Delta y) \rightarrow(0,0), \varepsilon_{1} \rightarrow 0 \text { and } \varepsilon_{2} \rightarrow 0$$ this implies $$f \text { is differentiable at every point in the plane }$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$ f(x, y)=5x -10y +y^{3}$$ so we get $$f_x(x, y)=5 , \ \ f_y(x, y)=-10+3 y^2$$ $$\text { Letting } z=f(x, y), \text { the increment of } z \\ \text { at an arbitrary point }(x, y) \text { in the plane is }$$ \begin{aligned} \Delta z& =f(x+\Delta x, y+\Delta y)-f(x, y)\\ &= 5(x+\Delta x) -10(y+ \Delta y) +(y+\Delta y)^{3} -5x +10y -y^{3}\\ &= 5x+5(\Delta x) -10y-10( \Delta y)+y^3+3y^2 (\Delta y)+3y (\Delta y)^2+(\Delta y)^{3} -5x +10y -y^{3}\\ &= 5(\Delta x) -10 (\Delta y)+3y^2 (\Delta y)+3y (\Delta y)^2+(\Delta y)^{3} \\ &=5(\Delta x)+\left(3 y^{2}-10\right)(\Delta y)+0(\Delta x)+\left(3 y(\Delta y)+(\Delta y)^{2}\right) \Delta y \\ &=f_{x}(x, y) \Delta x+f_{y}(x, y) \Delta y+\varepsilon_{1} \Delta x+\varepsilon_{2} \Delta y \\ & \text { where } \varepsilon_{1}= 0 \text { and } \varepsilon_{2}=3 y(\Delta y)+(\Delta y)^{2} \end{aligned} as $$ ( \Delta x, \Delta y) \rightarrow(0,0), \varepsilon_{1} \rightarrow 0 \text { and } \varepsilon_{2} \rightarrow 0$$ this implies $$f \text { is differentiable at every point in the plane }$$
