Cubics over quadratics at the origin

Let f:R2→Rf:\mathbb{R}^{2}\to\mathbb{R} be defined by f(x,y)={2x3+3y3x2+y2,(x,y)≠(0,0),0,(x,y)=(0,0).f(x,y)=\begin{cases}\dfrac{2x^{3}+3y^{3}}{x^{2}+y^{2}},&(x,y)\neq(0,0),\\0,&(x,y)=(0,0).\end{cases} Let fx(0,0)f_{x}(0,0) and fy(0,0)f_{y}(0,0) denote the first order partial derivatives of f(x,y)f(x,y) with respect to xx and yy, respectively, at the point (0,0)(0,0). Then which one of the following statements is TRUE?
