Check continuity of a function $f:\mathbb{R}^3 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ given by formula:

$f(x,y,z)=\begin{cases} \frac{xz + yz}{x^2+y^2+z^2} \text{ for }(x,y,z)\neq (0,0,0) \\ 0 \text{ for } (x,y,z)=(0,0,0) \end{cases}$

I don't know how to approach this. I tried to find two examples of sequences $(x_n,y_n,z_n)$ convergent to zero on all coordinates for which $f$ has different limits but it failed. I think $f$ can be continuous.

    Try along the line $x=y=z$ and also along the $z$-axis.2012-05-24

HINT Approach $(0,0,0)$ along $y = k_1 x$ and $z = k_2x$ for different $k_1,k_2$.
