YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
That is what i put on quiz
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you know its kinda deciving cause, y=x^2 and x=y^2 leads you to believe the limit is 2
OpenStudy (turingtest):
I hope you demonstrated that along x=y you get 2
and along x=2y you get 5/2
that is how you show your work that the limit DNE
OpenStudy (turingtest):
always try to chose a path that will not leave you undefined
i.e. get it all in terms of x or y so that they cancel
you always need to approach along multiple paths to prove if the limit DNE or not
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah thanks man
