Question

Let g(x, y) = `(x^2y)/(x^4 + y^2)` for (x, y) ≠ (0, 0) = 0. Show that `lim_((x,  y) -> (0,  0)) "g"(x,  y)` = 0 along every line y = mx, m ∈ R

Sum

Solution

Given g(x, y)  `(x^2y)/(x^4 + y^2)` for (x, y) ≠ (0, 0) and f(0, 0) = 0

Along the line y = mx, m ∈ R

`lim_((x,  y) -> (0,  0)) "g"(x,  y) = lim_((x,  mx) -> (0,  0)) ((x^2("m"x))/(x^4 + ("m"x)^2))`

= `lim_((x,  mx) -> (0,  0)) (("m"x^3)/(x^4 + "m"^2x^2))`

= `lim_((x,  mx) -> (0,  0)) (("m"x)/(x^2 + "m"^2))`

= `0/"m"^2` 

= 0

Hence proved.
