Let us first prove that \[ \lim_{(x,y)\to (2,3)} x y =6 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ | xy - 6|= | xy - 2y + 2y -6|=\\ | y(x-2) + 2(y-3)|\le |y||x-2| + 2|y-3| \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since y is going to be close to 3, we can assume |y|<4, Let \(\epsilon >0\), take \(\delta =\frac {\epsilon}6\) and suppose \[ |x-2| <\delta\\ |y-3|< \delta \] then\[ | xy - 6|= | xy - 2y + 2y -6|=\\ | y(x-2) + 2(y-3)|\le |y||x-2| + 2|y-3|\le\\ 4 \delta + 2 \delta= 6\delta=\epsilon \] We are done

The remaining terms are a one variable limit and can be done easily
