My progress:
Using the sequential criterion for limits, I constructed two sequences (xn),(yn) with lim, such that \lim(f(x_n))\neq \lim(f(y_n)), where f(x)=\sin\frac 1 x.
So, \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \sin (\frac{1}{x}) does not exist.
I also showed separately in the same way that \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \mathrm{sgn} (x) does not exist.
I know that \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=M ,\, \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} g(x)=N \Rightarrow \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} (fg)(x)=MN
Here, I have two functions f,g which do not have limits at x=0. Does it follow from here that \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} (fg)(x) also doesn't exist?
Is it any other way to approach the problem?
Answer
Hint do you know for which \thetas you have \sin \theta = 1? how about \sin \theta = -1? Can you choose a sequence of (x_n) and (y_n) converging to 0 such that \sin (1/x_n) = 1 always and \sin (1/y_n) = -1 always?
