The function in question is f ( x , y ) = y x 2 1 x 2
The solution:
For the function, we only want real values so y must be larger than or equal to x 2 . Also, we can't divide by zero, so x cannot be 1.
They say x cannot be one, since this would be division by 0. But what if we took the point ( 1 , 1 )? Then we would have 0 0 , which is indeterminate. So what's to say we couldn't find that the function is defined at ( 1 , 1 ) after all, by taking some kind of limit to the point?

Because y = 1 x = ± 1 (in the minimum case) which is in turn ruled out by the x ± 1 condition.
