multivariable limit of (x,y)--->(1,0) of ln(1+y^2/x^2+xy))
limit of (x,y)--->(1,0) of ln(1+y^2/x^2+xy))
Find the limit, if it exists, or show that the limit does
not exist.
so i have: lim(x,y)---->(1,0) ln(1+y^2/x^2+xy)
i rewrote it as: ln(1+y^2)-ln(x(x+y))
holding the y constant at 0 i get=lim x-->1 0-ln(x^2)=0
holding x constant at 1 i get=lim y---> ln(1)-(ln(1)=0
but my question is,is the limit actually 0? or would i have to approach (1,0) from somwhere else?
i tried to approach (1,0) from a line (x=1+y) only to end up even more confused
lim(1+y,y) ln(1+y^2)-ln(1+y(1+2y))=0?
so does the limit actually = 0? or am i making a mistake somewhere?
