Writing for some real x,y, we can rephrase this limit as
This limit exists and equals zero. This follows once we show that
.
To this end, we use polar coordinates:
Clearly is bounded above by 1. Next, we need to show that attains a positive minimum value; this assures that the trigonometric factor in the limit above is bounded (no division by zero).
To this end, observe that
, for some .
Hence, for any , there exists a constant such that
