Substitute r2: Step 1: Simplify the expression by substituting r2 for x2+y2, where r is the distance from the origin in polar coordinates.- Calculation: Let r2=x2+y2.- Reasoning: This substitution simplifies the expression to a function of a single variable r.-
Rewrite using r: Step 2: Rewrite the limit using r.- Calculation: limr→0r2+1−1r2.- Reasoning: This step converts the two-variable limit into a one-variable limit, making it easier to evaluate.-
Apply L'Hopital's Rule: Step 3: Apply L'Hopital's Rule since direct substitution gives 0/0, an indeterminate form.- Calculation: Differentiate the numerator and the denominator with respect to r. Numerator derivative: 2r. Denominator derivative: (1/2)(r2+1)−1/2(2r).- Reasoning: L'Hopital's Rule is used to resolve indeterminate forms by differentiating the numerator and denominator.
Simplify after differentiation: Step 4: Simplify the expression after differentiation.- Calculation: limr→0(21)(r2+12r)2r.- Reasoning: Simplifying the derivatives to find the new limit.-
Simplify and evaluate: Step 5: Simplify further and evaluate the limit.- Calculation: limr→0r/r2+12r.- Reasoning: Cancel r from numerator and denominator.-
Final simplification: Step 6: Final simplification and evaluation.- Calculation: limr→02⋅r2+1.- Reasoning: After canceling r, the limit depends only on the remaining terms.-
