Checking for differentiability,partial derivatives of a multivariable function

Let f:R2R be defined as

f(x,y)={(x2+y2)cos1x2+y2,for (x,y)(0,0)0,for (x,y)=(0,0)
then check whether its differentiable and also whether its partial derivatives ie fx,fy are continuous at (0,0). I dont know how to check the differentiability of a multivariable function as I am just beginning to learn it. For continuity of partial derivative I just checked for fx as function is symmetric inyand x. So fx turns out to be fx(x,y)=2xcos(1x2+y2)+xx2+y2sin(1x2+y2) which is definitely not 0 as (x,y)(0,0). Same can be stated for fy. But how to proceed with the first part? Thanks!
