Answer

See proof below.

Work Step by Step

If we are given an $\epsilon\gt 0$, we want to find an N such that, for $n\gt N,$ $|\displaystyle \frac{\sin n}{n}-0|\lt \epsilon.$ \begin{aligned} |\displaystyle \frac{\sin n}{n}-0|&=\displaystyle \frac{|\sin n|}{n} \\ & \displaystyle \leq\frac{1}{n}\leq\epsilon\\ & \text{... so, we take}\\ N&\displaystyle \gt\frac{1}{\epsilon} \end{aligned} Since we can find N= any integer greater than $\displaystyle \frac{1}{\epsilon}$, by the definition, $\displaystyle \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\sin n}{n}=0$
