Example Question #291 : Partial Derivatives

$\begin{align*}&\text{Calculate the limits of the function}\\&\lim_{(x,y)\rightarrow(0-,0+)}-\frac{(18x^{3}y^{3})}{(x^{5}y - 14xy^{5} - 17x^{3}y^{3} + 4x^{6} + 5y^{6})}\\&\text{along the y-axis and the line, }y=x\end{align*}$

Possible Answers:

$\begin{align*}&\text{y-axis: }\frac{108}{7}\\&y=x:0\end{align*}$

$\begin{align*}&\text{y-axis: }-\frac{96}{7}\\&y=x:0\end{align*}$

Correct answer:

$\begin{align*}&\text{y-axis: }0\\&y=x:\frac{6}{7}\end{align*}$

Explanation:

$\begin{align*}&\text{To approach this problem, it is important to understand what}\\ &\text{it is asking. Along the y-axis, }x=0\text{. Let us make that substitution:}\\&-\frac{(18(0)^{3}y^{3})}{((0)^{5}y - 14(0)y^{5} - 17(0)^{3}y^{3} + 4(0)^{6} + 5y^{6})}=\frac{0}{5y^{6}}\\&\lim_{(0,y)\rightarrow(0-,0+)}\frac{0}{5y^{6}}=0\\&\text{We can make a similar substitution for }y=x:\\&\lim_{(x,x)\rightarrow(0-,0-)}-\frac{(18x^{3}(x)^{3})}{(x^{5}(x) - 14x(x)^{5} - 17x^{3}(x)^{3} + 4x^{6} + 5(x)^{6})}=\frac{6}{7}\\&\text{As these two limits are different, the limit does not exist.}\end{align*}$
