I have probably over thought the whole thing... but I can't seem to find any place to start with this one:

Using the formal definition of a limit:

f(x,y)= y / (x^2 + 1) e=0.05

The limit seems to be 0.
So if [tex]0<|y|<\delta[/tex] and [tex]0<|x|<\delta[/tex].

[tex]\left| \frac{y}{x^2+1} \right| \leq \frac{|y|}{x^2} < \frac{\delta}{x^2}[/tex].

Now use single variable analysis that [tex]\frac{\delta}{x^2}[/tex] can be made sufficiently small.

limit as (x,y) goes to what?
