Question: Let p >0 be fixed, and define for (x; y)=/(0; 0)f(x; y)= j xjp/2 j yjj xjp +j yjp ; where is a real parameter.

Let p >0 be fixed, and define for (x; y)=/(0; 0)f(x; y)= j xjp/2 j yjj xjp +j yjp ; where is a real parameter. (i) Prove that lim(x;y)!(0;0)f(x; y)=0(hence ffis continuous at (0; 0) if we set f(0;0)=0 whenever > p/2.(ii) Prove the limit does not exist when p/2.(Conclude in particular there is no choice of f(0; 0)
