SUMMARY
The limit of the expression |sin(e^xy) - sin(1)|/(x^2 + y^2)^(1/2) approaches 0 as (x,y) approaches (0,0). This conclusion is based on the fact that e^xy converges to 1 significantly faster than (x^2 + y^2)^(1/2) converges to 0. To establish this limit rigorously, an epsilon-delta proof may be employed, although the user expresses uncertainty about its complexity. The Triangle Inequality may also be relevant in bounding the limit.
