Have you tried evaluating limit as x and y approaches 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes , but in the first problem i couldn't evaluate it because of the upper part of the fraction containig sin3(x^2+y^2) lim (x,y)--->(0,0) and let y=mx

OpenStudy (rational):

recall the single variable limit \[\lim\limits_{t\to 0}~\frac{\sin t}{t}=1\]

OpenStudy (rational):

along \(y=mx\) path we get : \[\begin{align}\lim\limits_{(x,y)\to(0,0)}~\frac{\sin3(x^2+y^2)}{x^2+y^2} &=\lim\limits_{(x,~mx)\to(0,0)}~\frac{\sin3(x^2+m^2x^2)}{x^2+m^2x^2}\\~\\ &=3*\lim\limits_{(x,~mx)\to(0,0)}~\frac{\sin3(x^2+m^2x^2)}{3(x^2+m^2x^2)}\\~\\ &=3*1 \end{align}\]

OpenStudy (loser66):

To me, if you let x = r cos theta y = r sin theta then x^2 +y^2 = r^2 then when x, y approach (0,0) , r approaches 0 \(lim_{r\rightarrow 0} \dfrac{sin 3 r^2 }{r^2}=\lim_{r\rightarrow 0}\dfrac{3sin(3r^2)}{3r^2}=3\)
