Use the Squeeze Theorem to find the limit.

lim (x^2 • sin(1/x))
x--> 0

Let me see.

-1 ≤ sin (1/x) ≤ 1

-x^2 ≤ x^2 • sin(1/x) ≤ x^2

-|x^2| ≤ x^2 • sin(1/x) ≤ |x^2|

lim -|x^2| as x tends to 0 = 0.

lim |x^2| as x tends to 0 = 0.
.
By the Squeeze Theorem, x^2 • sin(1/x) was squeezed between the limit of -|x^2| as x tends to 0 and the limit of |x^2| as x tends to 0.

Conclusion:

lim (x^2 • sin(1/x)) = 0
x--> 0

The limit is 0.

Correct?

Yes, that is correct.

Very cool. What about the other two Squeeze Theorem Proof threads?
 
For original Zeta function, ζ(s)=1+1/2^s+1/3^s+1/4^s+... =1+e^(-slog2)+e^(-slog3)+e^(-slog4)+... , Re(s)>1 Riemann extended the Zeta function to the region where s≠1 using analytical extension. New Zeta function is in the form of contour integration, which appears simple but is actually more inconvenient to analyze than the original Zeta function. The original Zeta function already contains all the information about the distribution of prime numbers. So we only handle with original Zeta...
