Question
In Exercises 85 and 86, use spherical coordinates to find the limit. [Hint: Let \(x=\rho \sin \phi \cos \theta\), \(y=\rho \sin \phi \sin \theta\) and \(z=\rho \cos \phi\), and \((x, y, z) \rightarrow(\mathbf{0}, \mathbf{0}, \mathbf{0})\) note that implies \(\rho \rightarrow \mathbf{0}^{+}\). ]
\(\lim _{(x, y, z) \rightarrow(0,0,0)} \frac{x y z}{x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}}\)
Text Transcription:
x=rho sin phi cos theta
y=rho sin phi sin theta
z=rho cos phi
(x, y, z) rightarrow (0, 0, 0)
rho rightarrow 0^+
lim_(x, y, z) rightarrow (0,0,0) xyz / x^2 + y^2 + z^2
Solution
The first step in solving 13.2 problem number 85 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In Exercises 85 and 86, use spherical coordinates to find the limit. [Hint: Let \(x=\rho \sin \phi \cos \theta\), \(y=\rho \sin \phi \sin \theta\) and \(z=\rho \cos \phi\), and \((x, y, z) \rightarrow(\mathbf{0}, \mathbf{0}, \mathbf{0})\) note that implies \(\rho \rightarrow \mathbf{0}^{+}\). ]\(\lim _{(x, y, z) \rightarrow(0,0,0)} \frac{x y z}{x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}}\)Text Transcription:x=rho sin phi cos thetay=rho sin phi sin thetaz=rho cos phi(x, y, z) rightarrow (0, 0, 0)rho rightarrow 0^+lim_(x, y, z) rightarrow (0,0,0) xyz / x^2 + y^2 + z^2
