Answer

Continuous at $R^{2}$

Work Step by Step

Given: $f(x,y)=\frac{xy}{1+e^{x-y}}$ The given function is defined for all values of x and y except at $1+e^{x-y}=0$ This implies $e^{x-y}=-1$ But the value of $e^{x-y}$ cannot be negative; it is always greater than zero. This implies that $e^{x-y}>0$. Hence, the function $f(x,y)=\frac{xy}{1+e^{x-y}}$ is continuous at $R^{2}$.
