Question Number 192138 by Mastermind last updated on 09/May/23
show that f(x,y) = {_(0 (x,y)=(0,0)) ^(((x^2 y)/(x^6 + 2y^2 )) (x,y)≠ (0,0)) has a directional derivative in the direction of an arbitrary unit vector φ at (0,0), but f is not continous at (0,0)

(∂f/∂x)(0,0)=lim_(x→0) ((f(x,0)−f(0,0))/(x−0))=0 (∂f/∂y)(0,0)=lim_(y→0) ((f(0,y)−f(0,0))/(y−0))=0 ⇒▽f(0,0)=((∂f/∂x)(0,0), (∂f/∂y)(0,0))=(0,0) ⇒directional derivative= ▽f(0,0).φ=(0,0).φ=0 lim_((x,y)→(0,0)) ((x^2 y)/(x^6 +2y^2 ))=lim_(x→0) f(x,0)=0=lim_(y→0) f(0,x) =^(y=x^2 ) lim_(x→0) (x^4 /(x^6 +2x^4 ))=lim_(x→0) (1/(x^2 +2))=(1/2), contradiction ⇒f is not continuous at (0,0)
$$\frac{\partial\mathrm{f}}{\partial\mathrm{x}}\left(\mathrm{0},\mathrm{0}\right)=\underset{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{x},\mathrm{0}\right)−\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{0},\mathrm{0}\right)}{\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{0}}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\frac{\partial\mathrm{f}}{\partial\mathrm{y}}\left(\mathrm{0},\mathrm{0}\right)=\underset{\mathrm{y}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{0},\mathrm{y}\right)−\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{0},\mathrm{0}\right)}{\mathrm{y}−\mathrm{0}}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\bigtriangledown\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{0},\mathrm{0}\right)=\left(\frac{\partial\mathrm{f}}{\partial\mathrm{x}}\left(\mathrm{0},\mathrm{0}\right),\:\frac{\partial\mathrm{f}}{\partial\mathrm{y}}\left(\mathrm{0},\mathrm{0}\right)\right)=\left(\mathrm{0},\mathrm{0}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{directional}\:\mathrm{derivative}= \\ $$$$\bigtriangledown\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{0},\mathrm{0}\right).\phi=\left(\mathrm{0},\mathrm{0}\right).\phi=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\underset{\left({x},\mathrm{y}\right)\rightarrow\left(\mathrm{0},\mathrm{0}\right)} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{6}} +\mathrm{2y}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\underset{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}f}\left(\mathrm{x},\mathrm{0}\right)=\mathrm{0}=\underset{\mathrm{y}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}f}\left(\mathrm{0},\mathrm{x}\right) \\ $$$$\overset{\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} } {=}\underset{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{4}} }{\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{6}} +\mathrm{2x}^{\mathrm{4}} }=\underset{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}},\:\mathrm{contradiction} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{f}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{not}\:\mathrm{continuous}\:\mathrm{at}\:\left(\mathrm{0},\mathrm{0}\right) \\ $$
