How do I use the squeeze/Sandwich theorem for Multivariable limits?

example?
OpenStudy (abb0t):
Same as you did for single variable limits.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\lim_{(x,y) \rightarrow (0,0)}\frac{ xy }{\sqrt{x^2+y^2} }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The lit is indeed 0 but how do I show that using the squeeze theorem?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol, Multivarible isn't really THAT hard. It is hard.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Like what do functions do I take the limit between. How would I know that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
two***
OpenStudy (jhannybean):
oh you mean your f(x) and your g(x)....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yeah. I know how to do it for single variable but not Multivariable.

same way I guess, find one you know is for sure smaller and for sure bigger where there limits are equal:)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How would I know? :P . There are an infinite number of possibilities.
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
same way you know for single variable I guess...
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
im trying to come up with one...
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
are you sure this has finite limit?

yep.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
According to the textbook this approaches 0.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Which is true because no matter what curve I choose for a path the limit goes to 0.
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
hmm have you tried many paths?
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
o I C

How do I exactly pick the two functions? Is there any specific way?
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
assume xy >=0
0=< xy/ √x² + y² <= (x² + y²) / 2√x² + y² -->0
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
do the same thing for xy<0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay. So it just depends on the function I guess?
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
yes for sure
