Why is my proof wrong? (analysis)

[Artusartos]

I was trying to prove this, but something went wrong and I'm not sure what...

We know that the greatest value of sin(1/x) can be 1 and the lowest value can be -1...

We know that the upper darboux sum is...

U(f,P) = sup(f[t_{k-1} , t_t]) (t_k - t_{k-1}) = (1) (1-(-1)) = 2


We also know that the lower darboux sum is...

L(f,P) = inf(f[t_{k-1} , t_t]) (t_k - t_{k-1}) = (-1) (1-(-1)) = -12

So we know that...

U(f,P) - L(f,P) = 2 - (-2) = 4 > \epsilon

Can anybody tell me where I went wrong?

Thanks in advance

What are you trying to prove in the first place??

And don't there need to be summations in the U(f,P) and L(f,P)?? How did you choose P anyway?

I also don't see where -12 comes from. Did you mean -2?

What is \epsilon supposed to be?
