Please help me solve the following problem. Show that the limit does not exist by considering the limits (x,y)-->(0,0) along the coordinate axes. Click to see the limit...

OpenStudy (babyslapmafro):

\[\lim_{(x,y) \rightarrow (0,0)}\frac{ 3 }{ x ^{2}+y ^{2} }\]

apply L'hospital's rule and substitute 0 you will get limit->infinity so limit doesnt exist

OpenStudy (babyslapmafro):

I can't use L'Hopital's rule because the limit is not in an indeterminate form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or consider it as a circle locus with radius r, as x&y reduces to zero the circle in the denominator reduces to a point. so the upper limit tends to infinity
