From the chapter: Calculus of Several Variables and Vector Calculus

Let f(x, y) = xy/(x² + y²) for (x, y) ≠ (0, 0) and f(0, 0) = 0. At the origin,

Show the answer and why

Answer: A.

f vanishes on both axes, so fₓ(0, 0) = lim [f(h, 0) − 0]/h = 0 and likewise fy(0, 0) = 0. On the line y = mx, f = m/(1 + m²), which depends on m (1/2 on y = x, 0 on y = 0), so the limit at the origin does not exist and f is discontinuous; a discontinuous function cannot be differentiable.
