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

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

Maybe you got 0/... , in that case you should check that the denominator can't be 0

if k != 0 the answer should be 0 right?

For the limit to exist, you must get the same finite value for all k, theta, etc. depending on the method you use
