EXAMPLE 3
If f(x, y) =
does
lim
(x, y)- (0, 0)
f(x, y) exist?
SOLUTION Let's try to save some time by letting (x, y) → (0, 0) along any
nonvertical line through the origin. Then y = mx, where m is the slope, and
f(x, у) %3D f(x, тх) %3
3x² + (mx)ª
3x2 + mªx4
3 + m*x
So f(x, y) →
as (x, y) → (0, 0) along y = mx.
Thus f has the same limiting value along every nonvertical line through the origin.
But that does not show that the given limit is 0, for if we now let (x, y) → (0, 0)
along the parabola x = y?, we have
f(x, y) = f(y², y) =
3(y²)² + yA
4y4
So f(x, y) →
as (x, y) → (0, 0) along x = y².
Since different paths lead to different limiting values, the given limit does not
exist.
