Why is
f(x,y)={x2yx4+y2,if (x,y)≠(0,0)0,if (x,y)=(0,0) said to be discontinuous at (0,0)?
I am supposed to show that this function is not continuous at (0,0), but as (x,y) approaches (0,0), f(x,y) approaches 0=f(0,0). So what did I miss here?
Answer
Let y=x2. Consider f(x,x2)=x42x4=12.So it's not continuous at (0,0). (Even it does not have a limit, you can plug y=0)
