Homework Statement


solve
{\lim }\limits_{\scriptstyle x \to 0 \hfill \atop <br /> \scriptstyle y \to 0 \hfill} (xy\ln \left( {x^2 + y^2 } \right))

Homework Equations


y_{1}=x
y_2=1/x

The Attempt at a Solution


when using y_{1}=x we get that the limit is zero
when using this y_{2}=1/x we get that the limit is infinity
thus the limit does not ! exist.
i don't know if it is ok to use these 2 paths i some how have a feeling that the second one is wrong
thanks for the help

Convert it to polar and let r->0. You get that the limit is zero. Also, the whole idea of using a path is to show the limits do not exist by showing that if you approach the point 0,0 along different paths then you get different limits. y = 1/x never approaches (0,0)
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
