Epsilon-Delta proof of limit as $(x,y)to 0,0)$ of $sin(x^2+y^2)=0$
$begingroup$
I am trying to come up with an epsilon delta proof of
$$lim_{(x,y)to (0,0)}sin(x^2+y^2)=0.$$
I know I have to find the form square root of $x^2+y^2 < delta$, but the only thing I know is that the absolute value of $sin (x^2+y^2) <= 1$
Thanks!

$xto 0, yto 0$ imply $x^2+y^2to 0$, while $sin(u)$ is continuous and $sin(0)=0$ should be enough.

$sin(x^2 + y^2) le x^2 + y^2 = delta^2.$ Let $delta = sqrt{epsilon}$

We can make use of the fact that for $0 < z < 1$, $0 < sin z < z$.
For $0 < x, y < 1$, then, $0 < x^2 + y^2 < 1$, and hence $0 < sin (x^2 + y^2) < x^2 + y^2$.
From this point, we can then use the squeeze theorem and state that since $x^2 + y^2 rightarrow 0$ in the given limit, $sin (x^2 + y^2)$ must also approach $0$. You can dress that up in $epsilon-delta$ notation as required.
