SUMMARY
The integral of the function \(\frac{f(x)}{x} \sin(nx)\) approaches zero as \(n\) approaches infinity, provided that \(\frac{f(x)}{x}\) is square integrable over the interval \([a, b]\). This conclusion is supported by theorems related to the behavior of smooth functions when multiplied by high-frequency oscillatory functions. The smoothness of \(\frac{f(x)}{x}\) ensures that the integral converges to zero due to the Riemann-Lebesgue lemma, which states that the integral of a product of a square integrable function and a sinusoidal function vanishes as the frequency increases.
