Answer:
[tex]\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac{x^2 \sin^2y}{x^2+2y^2} = 0[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]f(x,y) = \frac{x^2 \sin^2y}{x^2+2y^2}[/tex]
Required
[tex]\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} f(x,y)[/tex]
[tex]\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} f(x,y)[/tex] becomes
[tex]\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac{x^2 \sin^2y}{x^2+2y^2}[/tex]
Multiply by 1
[tex]\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac{x^2 \sin^2y}{x^2+2y^2}\cdot 1[/tex]
Express 1 as
[tex]\frac{y^2}{y^2} = 1[/tex]
So, the expression becomes:
[tex]\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac{x^2 \sin^2y}{x^2+2y^2} \cdot \frac{y^2}{y^2}[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac{x^2 y^2}{x^2+2y^2} \cdot \frac{\sin^2y}{y^2}[/tex]
In limits:
[tex]\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac{\sin^2y}{y^2} \to 1[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac{x^2 y^2}{x^2+2y^2} *1[/tex]
[tex]\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac{x^2 y^2}{x^2+2y^2}[/tex]
Convert to polar coordinates; such that:
[tex]x = r\cos\theta;\ \ y = r\sin\theta;[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac{(r\cos\theta)^2 (r\sin\theta;)^2}{(r\cos\theta)^2+2(r\sin\theta;)^2}[/tex]
Expand
[tex]\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac{r^4\cos^2\theta\sin^2\theta}{r^2\cos^2\theta+2r^2\sin^2\theta}[/tex]
Factor out [tex]r^2[/tex]
[tex]\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac{r^4\cos^2\theta\sin^2\theta}{r^2(\cos^2\theta+2\sin^2\theta)}[/tex]
Cancel out [tex]r^2[/tex]
[tex]\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac{r^2\cos^2\theta\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta+2\sin^2\theta}[/tex]
[tex]\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac{r^2\cos^2\theta\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta+2\sin^2\theta}[/tex]
Express [tex]2\sin^2 \theta[/tex] as [tex]\sin^2\theta+\sin^2\theta[/tex]
So:
[tex]\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac{r^2\cos^2\theta\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta+\sin^2\theta}[/tex]
In trigonometry:
[tex]\cos^2\theta + \sin^2\theta = 1[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac{r^2\cos^2\theta\sin^2\theta}{1+\sin^2\theta}[/tex]
Evaluate the limits by substituting 0 for r
[tex]\frac{0^2 \cdot \cos^2\theta\sin^2\theta}{1+\sin^2\theta}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{0 \cdot \cos^2\theta\sin^2\theta}{1+\sin^2\theta}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{0}{1+\sin^2\theta}[/tex]
Since the denominator is non-zero; Then, the expression becomes 0 i.e.
[tex]\frac{0}{1+\sin^2\theta} = 0[/tex]
So,
[tex]\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac{x^2 \sin^2y}{x^2+2y^2} = 0[/tex]
