Question 2: Marks 05
Check the continuity of given function at (0, 0)
2 2 ( , ) (0,0)

0 (, ) (0,0)
xy if x y
f x y x xy y
if x y
Solution:
We need to check following three concepts:
1. Function is defined at f (0,0) . It is defined because f (0,0) 0
2.
( , ) (0,0)
lim ( , )
x y
f x y
exists
Now, we compute the limit ( , ) (0,0) 2 2
lim

Limit along path 0 ; lim (0) 0

Limit along path 0 ; lim (0) 0

Limit along path
lim ( ) 1

x x x x x x x x
Since, we are getting different values along different paths, therefore,
( , ) (0,0) 2 2
lim

x xy y
does not exist.
There is a third condition too to check continuity, and it is that
( , ) (0,0)
(0,0) lim ( , )

f f x y
,
but since
( , ) (0,0)
lim ( , )
x y
f x y
does not exist, therefore, there is no need to check third
condition.
Conclusion:
Given function is discontinuous at (0,0)
