Partial derivatives (multiple parts)
Let g(x,y)=(xy)^(1/3).
a. Is g continuous at (0,0)?
I put down yes since it's not undefined there.
b.Calculate ∂g/∂x and ∂g/∂y when xy≠0.
This wasn't too bad and pretty straightforward. I...

Is this function differentiable?
Is f(x,y)=sqrt(x^2+y^2) differentiable at (0,0)? Justify.
I don't think the partial derivatives exist due to the limit definition, so can I say that the function isn't differentiable? Or is...
