calculus - Prove that function has no finite limit using epsilon - delta definition




I want to prove using
(ε>0)(δ>0)x(0<|xx0|<δ|f(x)L|ε)
That the function f(x)=x(xsinx) has no finite limit when x0=0
and I can't seem to find the way to start.
I know using the heine method that the function has 1 and 0 limits on both sides, so I'm guessing that if i choose an ε=1/2 I might be able to show that, but I'm not sure how.


Answer



Hint: You need to show that, for each LR, there exists an ε>0 with the property you mentioned.



Suggestion: Take ε=1/3. For L1/2, consider points δ<x<0; for L1/2, consider points 0<x<δ.
