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?
