62. Expanding the notation yields

lim(XX) [f(X) - f(X) - f(X) (X - X)] / ||X - X||
= lim((x,y)(x, y)) [f(x,y) - f(x,y) - (f_x(x,y)(x - x) + f_y(x,y)(y - y))] / [(x - x) + (y - y)]
However, since f is differentiable at (x,y),
f(x,y) - f(x,y) = z = f_x(x,y) (x - x) + f_y(x,y) (y - y) + x + y,
where , 0 as (x, y) = (x - x, y - y) (0, 0).
Substituting this into the limit expression yields
lim((x,y)(x, y)) [x + y] / [(x - x) + (y - y)]
= lim((x, y) (0, 0)) [x + y] / [(x) + (y)], in terms of x, y.
----------------------To finish this computation by Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality,
|x + y| = |<, > <x, y>| ( + ) * [(x) + (y)]
==> |x + y|/[(x) + (y)] ( + )
Since lim((x, y) (0, 0)) ( + ) = 0, by definition of the epsilons,
we conclude that lim((x, y) (0, 0)) |x + y| / [(x) + (y)] by Squeeze Theorem.
Hence, lim((x, y) (0, 0)) [x + y] / [(x) + (y)] = 0, as required.
==> f is differentiable at (x,y).
