Question: Consider the function (a) Show that as (x, y) (0, 0) along any line y = mx, the limit equals 0. (b) Show that

Consider the function f(x, y) = xy x6 + 2y

(a) Show that as (x, y) → (0, 0) along any line y = mx, the limit equals 0.

(b) Show that as (x, y) → (0, 0) along the curve y = x3, the limit does not equal 0, and hence, lim f(x, y) (x,y) (0,0)does not exist.

f(x, y) = xy + 2y x
