Homework Statement
Prove using the formal definition of a limit that
[tex]\lim_{(x,y) \to (1,2)} 5x^3-x^2y^2[/tex]
is equal to 1.
Homework Equations
[tex]\lim_{(x,y) \to (1,2)} 5x^3-x^2y^2\\
\left \| \overline{x}-\overline{a} \right \|< \delta
\\
\left | f(\overline{x})-L \right |<\epsilon[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex]\sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y-2)^2}<\delta\\
\left | 5x^3-x^2y^2-1 \right |<\epsilon[/tex]
I have no idea where to go from there. I can't figure out how to manipulate the second equation to resemble the first.
