Cubic-over-quadratic partials at origin

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