Please help find the limit (2 Variables) lim(x,y) —> (0,0) of tan(x^2 +y^2)arctan(1/(x^2 +y^2))

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

have you tried just plugging in x,y = 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. but you will end up with tan(0)arctan(1/0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can we use Lhopitals rule inside the arctan function

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

what is tan \((\pi /2) \) ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin(π/2)/cos(π/2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also 1/0

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

|dw:1443254278447:dw| tan pi/2 is undefined and then that behavious repeats itself meaning that arctan(1/0) is defined so you have 0 x something finite = 0
