I've been trying to do some $\epsilon -\delta$ proofs, but I keep running into problems regarding certain steps. Namely, I can bring the proof to a point that is almost complete, but to complete it I would need to place a constraint on $\delta$ to make the next inequality true (such as $x^2+y^2≤\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ provided $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}≤1$).
If I had $$\lim_{(x,y)\to(0,0)}f(x,y)$$ Is it fine to constrain my $\delta$ (such as $0<\sqrt{x^2+y^2}<\delta<1$) because my limit is within the disc $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}<1$?
If I come to a point where I would need to do that, have I done something wrong?
Is there some extra step that I should make that I am missing?
