Evaluate, lim(x,y)→(0,0)f(x,y)=lim(x,y)→(0,0)2x2yx4+y2
When I used polar coordinates with x=rcosθ,y=rsinθ,
limr→0rcosθsin2θr2cos4θ+sin2θ=0
But when I use path y=x2,
lim(x,y)→(0,0)2x42x4=1
Also from path x=0 or y=0 both gives,
lim(x,y)→(0,0)2x2yx4+y2=0
From path knowledge, I can say Limit does not exist.
Why this occurred that I got two different values of limits from Polar and the path makes me put a question that when to employ polar coordinates method to compute limits? When can I ascertain that it gives the correct value? Why is it giving out the value 0 even when limit DNE?
Please help!
