Suppose the lim(x,y) →(0,0) (xy)/SQRT[x^2 + y^2] if it exists

find the limit.

The Attempt at a Solution



x = rcosΘ
y = r sinΘ
r = SQRT[x^2 + y^2]

∴ limr → 0 (r2cosΘrsinΘ)/ r = rcosΘsinΘ \leq r

and so -r \leq(xy)/SQRT[x^2 + y^2] \leq r

I can understand the limit goes to zero because algerbraic multiplication and the sandwhich theorem tells me so. However, the highlighted part in red confuses me. What is the significance of
rcosΘsinΘ \leqr?

It was to generate the inequality - they used cosΘrsinΘ ≤ 1.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
