In my assignment I have to prove that the following function is uniformly continuous:
f(x)=arctanx⋅sin(1x) in the open interval (0,∞).
I thought I'd prove the one side limits x→0+ and x→∞−.
limx→∞−=π2⋅0=0.
For the second limit I thought using the squeeze theorem. Please let me know if I made a mistake:
0≤arctanx⋅sin(1x)≤arctanx.
Therefore, from the squeeze theorem:
limx→0+arctanx⋅sin(1x)=0
Since arctan and sin are continuous always when it is defined, we can say that the function is uniformly continuous, since the one side limits exists.
I have only one concern here: zero is not defined here, in the open interval from the beginning. Is it a problem to use the squeeze theorem here? If it is, thought I'd use xx+1 instead of 0.
Thanks,
Alan
