Evaluating limit of 2 variable function

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The limit of the function $$\lim_{{(x, y)}\to{(0, 0)}} \frac{x^4 - y^4}{x^4 + x^2y^2 + y^4}$$ does not exist due to differing results when evaluated along different paths. Specifically, along the x-axis, the limit evaluates to 1, while along the y-axis, it evaluates to -1. This discrepancy confirms that the limit is undefined as it fails to approach a single value from all directions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of multivariable limits
  • Familiarity with evaluating limits along specific paths

  • Explore the epsilon-delta definition of limits for multivariable functions
  • Investigate examples of functions with non-existent limits
USEFUL FOR

Students of calculus, mathematics educators, and anyone interested in understanding the behavior of multivariable functions and limits.

I have

$$\lim_{{(x, y)}\to{(0, 0)}} \frac{x^4 - y^4}{x^4 + x^2y^2 + y^4}$$

If I evaluate the limit along the x-axis, I get

$$\lim_{{(x, y)}\to{(0, 0)}} \frac{x^4 - y^4}{x^4 + x^2y^2 + y^4}$$

which evaluates to $1$.

If I evaluate the limit along the y-axis, I get

$$\lim_{{y}\to{0}} \frac{ - y^4}{ y^4}$$

which evaluates to $-1$.

Since the 2 limits are different, then the limit does not exist. Is this correct?
