    Limit Variable
Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the limit of the function x^2*y^3/(x^4 + y^4) as (x,y) approaches (0,0). Initial attempts included evaluating the limit along specific paths, such as x=y and y=x^2, but did not yield conclusive results. Graphical analysis suggested the limit might exist, prompting further exploration of a proof. The approach involved establishing a condition where the expression approaches zero as the distance to the origin decreases. Ultimately, the discussion emphasizes the importance of considering various paths to determine the limit's existence.

Homework Statement


Lim [x^2*y^3/(x^4 + y^4)]
(x,y)->(0,0)
Find the limit or prove it doesn't exist

Homework Equations




The Attempt at a Solution


Tried considering the limit along the line x=y, and y=x^2, but couldn't show there where different vaules of limit for different curves. Then i graphed it, and it looked like the limit exists.
Attempted proof.
|x^2 y^3/(x^4 + y^4) - 0| < E
0< sqrt(x^2 + y^2)< d
this is where I am stuck at.

A simple way is to set e.g. y=0 and then solve it with x->0.

More generally you'd like to move from a general direction to the origin, because sometimes it matters where you're coming from (not in this case).
You can do that by substituting (x,y) = lambda (a,b) where a and b are not both zero.
Then you take the limit for lambda->0.
 
Question: A clock's minute hand has length 4 and its hour hand has length 3. What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
