I've just started learning about limits. Why can we say $$ \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 0 $$ even though $\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} \sin x$ does not exist?
It seems like the fact that sin is bounded could cause this, but I'd like to see it algebraically.
$$ \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} \frac{\sin x}{x} =
\frac{\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} \sin x} {\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} x}
= ? $$
L'Hopital's rule gives a fraction whose numerator doesn't converge. What is a simple way to proceed here?
