I've been struggling to prove that the following limit exists and calculate it. Squeeze theorem must be used. $$\lim_{(x,y)\to(0,0)} \frac{x^3-2xy^2}{x^2+y^2}$$
Note: using polar coordinates is not allowed.

$$\left|\frac{x^3-2xy^2}{x^2+y^2}\right|=|x|\left|\frac{x^2-2y^2}{x^2+y^2}\right|\leq|x| \frac{x^2+2y^2}{x^2+y^2}\leq |x| \frac{2x^2+2y^2}{x^2+y^2}=2|x|\to0$$
