Answer

$\lim\limits_{(x,y) \to (1,-1)} (e^{-xy} cos(x+y)) = e$

Work Step by Step

$-xy$ is continuous everywhere. $x + y$ is continuous everywhere. $e^{-xy}$ and $cos(x+y)$ are continuous everywhere. Therefore, we can substitute the values of x and y directly into the fuction. $\lim\limits_{(x,y) \to (1,-1)} (e^{-xy} cos(x+y)) = e^{-(1)(-1)}cos(1 - 1) = e^1cos(0) = e$
