Work Step by Step

a) $\lim\limits_{x \to \infty}x\sin(\frac{1}{x})$ Let's take a variable $a=\frac{1}{x}$ $\lim\limits_{x \to \infty}x\sin(\frac{1}{x})=\lim\limits_{a \to 0}\frac{1}{a}\sin(a)=\lim\limits_{a \to 0}\frac{\sin(a)}{a}$ We know that the limit above is 1. b) $\lim\limits_{x \to 0}x\sin(\frac{1}{x})=\lim\limits_{x \to 0}x\times\lim\limits_{x \to 0}\sin(\frac{1}{x})=0\times\lim\limits_{x \to 0}\sin(\frac{1}{x})=0$ c) The function approaches 1 as x tends to infinity and approaches 0 as x tends to 0.
