If we have two functions ##f(x)## such that ##\lim_{x \to \infty}f(x)=0## and ##g(x)=\sin x## for which ##\lim_{x \to \infty}g(x)## does not exist. Can you send me the Theorem and book where it is clearly written that
\lim_{x \to \infty}f(x)g(x)=0
I found that only for sequences, but it should be correct for functions also.

If ##g## is any bounded function then there is a straightforward epsilon-delta proof.
 
|f(x)g(x)| is bounded by |f(x)| goes to 0
 
I don't know of a specific place that states this exact problem, but this is an application of the Squeeze theorem which can be found in any calculus textbook.
