The Attempt at a Solution



I know that this is an ∞.0 type limit but I can't figure out how to change the sin function.

Thank you

Hint
[tex]x \sin(1/x)=\frac{\sin(1/x)}{1/x}.[/tex]

Ahh thank you! Then you use l'hospital's Rule?

I wouldn't. This limit is related to this well-known limit
$$\lim_{t \to 0}\frac{sin(t)}{t}$$

What do you mean?
 
Hint 2: Use a substitution, then figure out what the appropriate change in the limit would be.
