Homework Statement



Is the function f(x) = x * sin(1/x) for x =/= 0 and f(0) = 0 unifoirmly continuous on R?


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



dom(f) = (-inf, inf)



x,y in R and |x-y| < d imply |f(x) - f(y)| < e

|x - 0| < d imply |x * sin(1/x) - 0 | < e

?

f is continuous on R, and it looks like it has a bounded derivative on R\[-1,1].
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
