let f(x,y)=((x^2 −y^2 )/(x^2  +y^2 )) ⇒lim_(x→0) f(x,x)=lim_(x→0) ((x^2 −x^2 )/(2x^2 ))=0  lim_(x→0) f(2x,x) =lim_(x→0)   ((4x^2 −x^2 )/(4x^2 +x^2 )) =lim_(x→0) ((3x^2 )/(5x^2 ))=(3/5)  lim_(x→0) f(x,2x) =lim_(x→0) ((x^2 −4x^2 )/(x^2  +4x^2 )) =lim_(x→0) ((−3x^2 )/(5x^2 ))=−(3/5)  so lim_((x,y)→(0,0))  f(x,y) dont exist...  another way  x=rcosθ and y =rsinθ ⇒  f(x,y)=((r^2  cos^2 θ−r^2 sin^2 θ)/r^2 )=cos(2θ)andcos(θ) change following the   valuee of θ   ....
