QUESTION:

Limits using polar coordinates  Limits at (0,0) may be easier to evaluate by converting to polar coordinates. Remember that the same limit must be obtained as \(r \rightarrow 0\) along all paths to (0,0). Evaluate the following limits or state that they do not exist.

\(\lim _{(x, y) \rightarrow(0,0)} \frac{x^{2}}{x^{2}+y^{2}}\)
