The correct Answer is:
To determine the value of the function \( f(x) = x^2 \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \) at \( x = 0 \) such that the function is continuous at that point, we need to find \( f(0) \) such that: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = f(0) \] ### Step 1: Evaluate the limit as \( x \) approaches 0 We start by calculating the limit: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 0} x^2 \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \] ### Step 2: Use the Squeeze Theorem We know that the sine function is bounded: \[ -1 \leq \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \leq 1 \] Multiplying through by \( x^2 \) (which is non-negative for \( x \neq 0 \)) gives: \[ -x^2 \leq x^2 \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \leq x^2 \] ### Step 3: Apply the Squeeze Theorem Now, we can apply the Squeeze Theorem. As \( x \) approaches 0, both \( -x^2 \) and \( x^2 \) approach 0: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} -x^2 = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad \lim_{x \to 0} x^2 = 0 \] Thus, by the Squeeze Theorem: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} x^2 \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) = 0 \] ### Step 4: Set \( f(0) \) To ensure continuity at \( x = 0 \), we need: \[ f(0) = \lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = 0 \] ### Conclusion Therefore, the value of the function \( f \) at \( x = 0 \) should be: \[ f(0) = 0 \]
