How to prove $\lim_{(x,y)\to (0,0)} f(x,y)=\frac{|x|^\alpha y^4}{x^2+y^4}$ for all $\alpha>0$?

I think in order to prove this limit exists, I should the value is all the same from different direction. How to prove at here?

$f=|x|^{\alpha} - \dfrac{|x|^{2+\alpha}}{x^2+y^4}$ consider limits for both. $|\dfrac{|x|^{2+\alpha}}{x^2+y^4}|\le \dfrac{|x|^{2+\alpha}}{x^2}$ – Yimin Feb 22 at 4:21

Note $y^4/(x^2+y^4)<1$ – Maesumi Feb 22 at 4:46
