Short Answer

Determine the set of points at which the function is continuous.

\(G(x,y) = \ln ({x^2} + {y^2} - 4)\)

\(\{ (x,y){\rm{ : }}{x^2} + {y^2} > 4\} \)

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Recognizing the form of Equation / Function:

The given function \(G(x,y) = \ln \left( {{x^2} + {y^2} - 4} \right)\)

The given function is a logarithmic function.

Step 2: The function is not defined when \({x^2} + {y^2} - 4 \le 0\) that is when \({x^2} + {y^2} \le 4\)

Hence G(x, y) is continuous everywhere except when \({x^2} + {y^2} \le 4\)

That is G(x, y) is defined on the set

\(\{ (x,y){\rm{ : }}{x^2} + {y^2} > 4\} \)
