Homework Statement


I need to show that |sin(e^xy)-sin(1)|/(x^2+y^2)^1/2 -> 0 as (x,y) -> (0,0)


Homework Equations


Triangle Inequality?


The Attempt at a Solution


I know that this is true, since e^xy -> 1 as (x,y) -> (0,0) much, much faster than (x^2+y^2)^1/2 -> 0 as (x,y) -> (0,0). I don't know how to give this limit an upper bound to prove it though. Otherwise, I guess I could use an epsilon-delta proof, but I think that might be a little much?

Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
