For example, to find the limit of x*y as x -> 0 and y -> 0, type
limit(limit(x*y, x, 0),y,0)
Your output should be 0. |

| Well, my TI-89 has the same problem. The function you describe (let's call it f) is continuous, positive, and increasing on [0, 0.4]. Therefore, the correct answer should be positive and between .4*f( ... |
