Two Variable Limit: Solve xy²/(sin(x²+y²))

[Anoonumos]

Hi,

Homework Statement

lim (xy²)/(sin(x² + y²))
(x,y) -> (0,0)

The Attempt at a Solution

I think the answer is 0, but I don't know how to get rid of the sin (x² + y²). I thought about using taylor series but I'm not sure if that works with two variables.

Can someone help me out?

How about switching to polar coordinates?

r^2 = x^2 + y^2

Maybe someone can justify the tilde somehow ...

I think I've solved it.
(xy²)/(sin(x² + y²) = (x² + y²)/(sin(x² + y²) * (xy²/(x²+y²))
And I know both these limits (1 and 0).

I thought his only problem was how to get rid of the sine, which I didn't help with, only helped clarifying his thought in a form that facilitates thinking.

BTW, giving an answer directly is still better than no answer at all, I'll be glad to take any answer to my questions, which more often than not go unanswered.

By now I see that a PF Moderator has removed your offending post.

DivisionByZro was merely pointing out to you some of the rules for posting help on this Forum.

It's your opinion that "... giving an answer directly is still better than no answer at all, ...", but if you continue to try to exercise that behavior in this Forum, I suspect that the Moderators will take your privileges to post.
