#two variable limit question

2*x*y / (x**2 - y + 5*x*y)
how can i prove that this function has not limit at the point (0,0)
i have tried polar coordinates and y=k*x, y=k*x**2,
y = k*x**3 and y=k*x**0.5 but all of them resulted with 0 so i thought it is 0 but calculator says no
Hello! could you show your work?
Maybe when you tried polar coordinates, or y=kx, if possible
i am trying to solve many questions in my notebook and it will seem complicated, but if you want to see i can rewrite clearly to a blank page
Sure
Maybe you got 0/... , in that case you should check that the denominator can't be 0
Yes, but since there's a value of k (path) where the limit doesn't exist, then the whole limit doesn't exist
For the limit to exist, you must get the same finite value for all k, theta, etc. depending on the method you use
ohh i see because of k could be 0 the limit will in danger if not limit is 0, so this dilemma makes our limit dependent
