Calculate the following limits, if they exist, by using a combination of polar coordinates and de L’Hopital rule.
lim(x,y)(0,0)arctan(x2+y2)x2+y2

changing into polar coordinates
x=rcosθ
y=rsinθ
x2+y2=r2cos2θ+r2sin2θ
=r2(cos2θ+sin2θ)
=r2(cos2θ+sin2θ=1)
when (x,y)(0,0)
r0
Now lim(x,y)(0,0)arctan(x2+y2)x2+y2
=limr0arctan(r2)r2
=limr011+(r2)22r2r (applying L'Hopital rule)
=limr011+r4
=1
