can you help me with this excercise.
Show using the definition of limit that
$$\lim_{ (x,y)\to(0,0)}\frac{ (1-\cos(xy))\sin y}{(x^2+y^2) }= 0$$
Definition of limit:
$\lim_{(x,y)\to(a,b)} f(x,y) =L$ if and only if for every $\epsilon >0$ exist $\delta>0$ such that if $\sqrt{(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2}<\delta$ then $|f(x,y)-L|<\epsilon$.
Hi
I´ve tried this,
For taylor series.
Given $\epsilon>0$, find $\delta>0$ such that if
$$\sqrt{x^2+y^2}<\delta$$ then $$\bigg|\frac{(1-\cos xy)\sin y}{x^2+y^2}\bigg|<\epsilon$$
\begin{align*}
\bigg|\frac{(1-\cos xy)\sin y}{x^2+y^2}\bigg| & = \bigg|\frac{(1-1-\frac{x^2y^2}{2}+\frac{x^4y^4}{24})(y-\frac{y^3}{6}+\frac{y^5}{120})}{x^2+y^2}\bigg|\\
& =\bigg|\frac{(-\frac{x^2y^2}{2}+\frac{x^4y^4}{24})(y-\frac{y^3}{6}+\frac{y^5}{120})}{x^2+y^2}\bigg|
\end{align*}
Then what do I do?

We need only use the inequality $\sin x<x$ for $x>0$ along with the trigonometric identity $\sin^2 x=\frac{1-\cos 2x}{2}$.
Then, we can write
$$\begin{align} |1-\cos xy|&=|2\sin^2(xy/2)|\\\\ &\le\frac12(xy)^2\\\\ &\le \frac14(x^2+y^2)^2 \end{align}$$
along with
$$\begin{align} |\sin y| &\le |y|\\\\ &\le(x^2+y^2)^{1/2} \end{align}$$
Therefore, we have
$$\begin{align} \left|\frac{(1-\cos xy)\sin y}{x^2+y^2}-0\right|&\le\frac{\frac14(x^2+y^2)^{5/2}}{x^2+y^2} \\\\ &=\frac14(x^2+y^2)^{3/2}\\\\ &<\epsilon \end{align}$$
whenever $(x^2+y^2)^{1/2}<\delta = (4\epsilon)^{1/3}$.
