Determining the limit of $sqrt{x^2+y^2} ln(x^2+y^2)$ as $(x,y)$ approaches $(0,0)$












3












$begingroup$


I want to evaluate the limit of $sqrt{x^2+y^2}ln(x^2+y^2)$ as $(x,y)$ approaches $(0,0)$. Using polar coordinates, $x=r cos theta$, $y= r sin theta$, I obtain $sqrt{x^2+y^2}ln(x^2+y^2)=2rln(r)$ but I can not understand why this would be more simple than the original expression, or how I can proceed with this problem.

Your approach with polar coordinates is correct. The limit $lim_{rto 0^+}2rln(r)$ is simpler than the given one because it is a one-variable limit. One way to evaluate it is to write $2rln(r)$ as $frac{2ln(r)}{1/r}$ and then apply L'Hopital. Can you take it from here?

    Yes, the limit seems to exist and is 0.
