The correct Answer is:
To evaluate the limit \( \lim_{x \to 0} x \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the limit We start with the limit expression: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} x \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \] ### Step 2: Use the property of sine We know that the sine function is bounded. Specifically, for any real number \( y \), we have: \[ -1 \leq \sin(y) \leq 1 \] Thus, for \( y = \frac{1}{x} \), we can write: \[ -1 \leq \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \leq 1 \] ### Step 3: Multiply by \( x \) Multiplying the entire inequality by \( x \) (noting that as \( x \to 0 \), \( x \) is approaching 0 from both sides), we get: \[ -x \leq x \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \leq x \] ### Step 4: Analyze the limits of the bounding expressions Now, we need to evaluate the limits of the bounding expressions as \( x \to 0 \): \[ \lim_{x \to 0} -x = 0 \] \[ \lim_{x \to 0} x = 0 \] ### Step 5: Apply the Squeeze Theorem Since \( x \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \) is squeezed between \( -x \) and \( x \), and both of these limits approach 0, we can apply the Squeeze Theorem: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} x \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) = 0 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the limit is: \[ \boxed{0} \]
