x=170, y=10 x=17, y=1 x=1.7, y=0.1 x=0.17, y=0.01 The answer keeps being 17, even as x and y both get vanishingly close to zero. I encourage you to play

x=170, y=10 x=17, y=1 x=1.7, y=0.1 x=0.17, y=0.01 The answer keeps being 17, even as x and y both get vanishingly close to zero. I encourage you to play around with a 3D graphing calculator and see all the different paths you can take along that surface to reach the singularity. They all "reach" it at different heights.
