real analysis - How to evaluate limxto0fracx2sinfrac1xsinx




Find the value of lim.





Below I am showing my attempt at the question:



x^2\sin {\dfrac{1}{x}}\to 0 as x\to 0 since \sin {\dfrac{1}{x}} is bounded in a neighbourhood of 0 and x^2\to 0 as x\to 0.



Hence , we have a \dfrac{0}{0} form.



By L'Hospital's Rule ,\lim_{x\to 0} \dfrac{x^2\sin {\dfrac{1}{x}}}{\sin x} reduces to \dfrac{2x\sin {\dfrac{1}{x}}-\cos{\dfrac{1}{x}}}{\cos x} whose limit can't be computed at x=0 since \lim _{x\to 0} \cos{\dfrac{1}{x}} does not exist.



How can I evaluate this correctly?




Will the answer be limit does not exist?



Do excuse me if I am unable to post a good question as this is my first question on MSE


Answer



Just observe that
\left|x^2\sin {\dfrac{1}{x}}\right|\le x^2 giving, as x \to 0,
\left|\dfrac{x^2\sin {\dfrac{1}{x}}}{\sin x}\right|\le \frac{x^2}{\left|\sin x\right|}=\left|\frac{x}{\sin x}\right|\times|x|\to 1\times0=0.
