Homework Statement



Find the limit as x approaches 0 of xsin(1/(x^2))

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I think this goes to 0, because the sine component just oscillates between 1 and -1, and gets multiplied by 0, for all x. I don't know how to show this using limit laws/algebraically.

The name of the test you want to do is sometimes called the 'squeeze theorem'.
 
Are you allowed to use the Squeeze (or Sandwich) Theorem?
