ONUS: Limit Computation: Evaluating xy/(x^2+y^2) at Origin

In summary, the conversation is about finding the limit of xy/(x^2+y^2) when (x,y) approaches (0,0) along different curves. The person asking for help has already solved the problem using polar coordinates and apologizes for any confusion.

Hi ,
I have difficulty to find the folowing questions about limit computation.
IF lim xy/(x^2+y^2) ( when (x,y)---(0,0))
Evaluate the limit as (x,y) approaches the origin along:
a) The spiral r=0, θ >0
b) The differentiable curve y=f(x), with f(0)=0
c) The arc r=sin(θ )
Thank you

Have you tried converting your expression to polar?
 
  • #4
Have you yet done any work on the problem? There should be at least one thing you can do that is very clear...

Sorry I found out with the polar coordinates.I am ok now Sorry about everything.

1. What is the purpose of the ONUS limit computation?

The ONUS limit computation is used to evaluate the value of an expression, xy/(x^2+y^2), at the origin (0,0). This can help determine the behavior of the expression as x and y approach 0, and can be useful in solving various mathematical problems.

2. How is the ONUS limit computation calculated?

The ONUS limit computation involves plugging in the values of x and y as they approach 0 into the expression xy/(x^2+y^2). This can be done by substituting 0 for both x and y, or by using various algebraic techniques to simplify the expression before plugging in the values.

3. What does the ONUS limit computation tell us about the behavior of the expression at the origin?

The ONUS limit computation can tell us whether the expression approaches a finite value, approaches infinity, or does not exist at the origin. This information is helpful in understanding the overall behavior of the expression and can be used to solve more complex mathematical problems.

4. Are there any limitations to the ONUS limit computation?

Yes, the ONUS limit computation may not always provide an accurate representation of the behavior of the expression at the origin. It is important to also consider the behavior of the expression as x and y approach 0 from different directions, and to use other mathematical tools such as graphing or calculus to fully understand the behavior of the expression.

5. What are some real-life applications of the ONUS limit computation?

The ONUS limit computation can be used in various fields such as physics, engineering, and finance. For example, in physics, it can be used to determine the limit of a function as a variable approaches 0, which can be useful in understanding the behavior of physical systems. In finance, it can be used to analyze the risk associated with certain investments by evaluating their limits as certain variables approach 0.
