Question

Prove that the limit does not exist: lim (x,y,z)--> (0,0,0) (xy +yz) / (x2+y2+z2)

Prove that the limit does not exist:

lim (x,y,z)--> (0,0,0) (xy +yz) / (x2+y2+z2)

1 0

> Answer #1 seems like a wrong way to prove that the limit does not exist, because some limits that ends up with 0/0 might be defined in some cases. I hope you check my answer(answer #2), which proves that the limit does not exist because the limits are different due to different paths to approach.

Answer #1

O,o, o

> You are NOT supposed to say that the limit doesn't exist just because 0/0 isn't defined!! The limit is not defined because the limit is different when it approaches to two different paths(for example, x=y=z makes the limit 2/3 and y=0=z makes the limit 0), and therefore the limit does not exist.

The limit is not defined because the limits are different when it approaches to two different paths(for example, x=y=z makes the limit 2/3, and y=0=z makes the limit 0), and therefore the limit does not exist.
