hey guys can anybody tell me how to find the limit of f(x)=x sin(1/x) when x approaches to zero?

there are numerous options besides I.I.T

yes the answer is zero since sin(1/0)is some finite value

 they guys you canfind it by using the sandwich law
here x is approching to zero  and here f(x)=xsin1/x
so domain of sin is  [-1,1]
so    -1<= six 1/x <=1
        -x<= xsin 1/x <=x
so lim (-x) =  0             &    lim x  =   0
    x-->0                                x-->0 
 
so according to sandwich law  lim  xsin1/x =  0 
                                             x-->0    
 
so i think so your methord is
 
might be wrong

yes ..... rathin is right ........

the above limit has to b found out by the sandwich rule .....

the same holds for (x^2)sin(1/x) ..

but thr is no need to apply sandwhich theorem...
we know that for any value of x even if it is infinite sin x
lies b/w [-1,1]
and so 0xsome value of sin x = 0
hence the answer will be 0

yes aditi is right

0 multiply by a number which oscilates b\w -1 to +1
will always yeild 0

x.sin(1/x)
here max value of sin(1/x) is 1 ...so 1 X 0 =0....hence lt is 0....
