multivariable calculus - Indeterminate two-dimensional limit




I'm pretty sure that



lim



but I'm having some trouble proving it.



The only technique I'm aware of that can be used to show indeterminate limits of \geq 2 variables exist is the Squeeze Theorem. I've tried applying it here (by assuming |y| < 1 and bounding the quantity of interest by \pm\frac{x^4y}{x^2 + y^2}), but I didn't get anywhere.




Any help is appreciated.


Answer



Since |xy|\leq \frac{x^2+y^2}{2} by the GM-QM inequality, you simply have:
\left|\frac{x^4 y}{x^2+y^2}\right|\leq \frac{1}{2}|x|^3.
