Find $$\lim_{x\to0}\left(x^2\sin\frac1x\right)$$
Solution:
We have:
$$\color{red}{-1\le\sin\frac1x\le1}\;;\;x\in(-5,5)-\{0\}\quad\text{Why?}$$
(Multiplying by $x^2$ …Note that $x^2$ is non-negative)
$$\implies-x^2\le x^2\sin\frac1x\le x^2\;;\;x\in(-5,5)-\{0\}$$
We have
$$\lim_{x\to0}\left(-x^2\right)=0=\lim_{x\to0}\left(x^2\right)$$
$\implies$ By the squeeze theorem,
$$\lim_{x\to0}\left(x^2\sin\frac1x\right)=0$$
Can someone please explain this problem? I could solve the ones without $\sin$/$\cos$.
Why do we assume that $\sin\dfrac1x$ is between $-1$ and $1$?
