I found this interesting problem on calculating the limit of sin(xy2)xy on the positive coordinate axes x and y. That is, compute the limit on the points (x0,0) and (0,y0) when x0>0 and y0>0.
My approach was this:
If we first calculate the limit for x axis, the the x is a constant x=x0 and therefore the function is essentially a function of one variable:
f(y)=sin(x0y2)x0y
Using L'Hospital's rule:
lim
=\frac{\lim_{y\to0}2yx_0\cos(x_0y^2)}{\lim_{y\to0}x_0}=0
The same idea applies to the other limit.
But in the sheet where this problem was listed, this was listed as a "tricky" limit to calculate. It seemed quite simple, so I would like to hear whether this approach is correct. Thank you!
Answer
It is correct, the limit is 0 and the reasoning holds.
