Let
$$
f(x,y) =
\begin{cases}
\dfrac{xy}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} & \text{if $(x,y)\neq(0,0)$ } \\[2ex]
0 & \text{if $(x,y)=(0,0)$ } \\
\end{cases}
$$
Show that this function is continuous but not differentiable at $(0,0),$ although it has both partial derivatives existing there.
I can show this function is continous and the partial derivatives exist. But how can I show that this function is not differentiable?
Is showing that the function is differentiable similar to showing that a derivative exists?
