Hi, Everyone,

Problem asks to prove that limit of x^2 * sin^2 (y) / (x^2 + 2* y^2) as (x,y) approach (0,0) is 0 using delta-epsilon method. Please let me know how to solve, very complicated.

Thanks.

The condition that you need to satisfy is that

[tex]|f(x,y)-0|=\left| \frac{x^2sin^2(y)}{x^2+2y^2} \right| \leq \varepsilon[/tex]

So showing that [itex]x^2sin^2(y) \leq \varepsilon[/itex] is insufficient to prove that the limit is zero. (I'm assuming that [itex]xsin(y)[/itex] was a typo)

Start by using the fact that [itex]0 \leq sin^2(y) \leq 1[/itex] and then find some function of delta [itex]u(\delta)<\varepsilon[/itex] such that

[tex]\left| \frac{x^2sin^2(y)}{x^2+2y^2} \right| \leq u(\delta)[/tex]
 
Thanks a lot. Check it out. Here is deal. Let me know if it good.
