real analysis - Counting a Directional derivative.



Let f be a function that satysfies : f:R2R,(x,y){0for (x,y)=(0,0)x3x2+y2for (x,y)(0,0) I want to show that f has directional derivative at point (0,0) at every direction. So, let v=(v1,v2)R2,(v1,v2)(0,0). f has directional derivative in (0,0) if and only if following limit exist :
limt>0f(a+tv)f(a)t=limt>0f(tv1,tv2)t=limt>0t3v31t(t2v21+t2v22)=v31v21+v22.




So i show that above limit exist and it depends of choosing vector v. So the directional direvative exist at point (0,0) in every direction. The main question is :



Am i thinking correcly ?


Answer



Yes, you are right. The directional derivative exists at (0,0) in every dirction v=(v_1,v_2) and is =\frac{v_1^3}{v_1^2+v_2^2}.
