Let URmU \subset \mathbb{R}^{m} be a nonempty open set. What does it mean to say that a function f:URnf: U \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n} is differentiable?

Let f:URf: U \rightarrow \mathbb{R} be a function, where UR2U \subset \mathbb{R}^{2} is open. Show that if the first partial derivatives of ff exist and are continuous on UU, then ff is differentiable on UU.

Let f:R2Rf: \mathbb{R}^{2} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} be the function

f(x,y)={0(x,y)=(0,0)x3+2y4x2+y2(x,y)(0,0)f(x, y)= \begin{cases}0 & (x, y)=(0,0) \\ \frac{x^{3}+2 y^{4}}{x^{2}+y^{2}} & (x, y) \neq(0,0)\end{cases}

Determine, with proof, where ff is differentiable.
