Limit does not take into account the assume keyword...Or?

Limit does not take into account the assume keyword...Or?

Hello,

In the end, the result should not be:

?

 

The calculation was made in Mathcad Prime 8.

not?? Why not?

 

"assume" never was reliable and satisfying.

But in this case it seems that it got worse, as the old symbolic in P6 returns the simple result

Mathcad Prime 8 cannot calculate such kind of limit...

 

And assume does not work in Mathcad Prime 8 (at least for this kind of problem)...

Any workaround for Mathcad Prime 8?

None that I would be aware of apart from using the absolute value or the square for variables which are considered to be positive

Erroneously Prime does not distinguish between y=0 and y!=0 here.

Only correct answer so far by MC11 with Maple, shown by Luc.

You may consider reporting this bug/inability to PTC support.

 

BTW, sometimes "assume" actually IS respected and works as expected 😉
