Solution

Let's analyze the problem and its solution from the images provided.

Problem Statement:

The task is to find the limit limxxsin(1x)\lim_{x \to \infty} x \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right).

Steps for the Solution:

  1. Substitution:

    • Let y=1xy = \frac{1}{x}.
    • As xx \to \infty, y0y \to 0.
  2. Rewriting the Limit:

    • The original limit is rewritten using the substitution: limxxsin(1x)\lim_{x \to \infty} x \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) becomes limy0sin(y)y\lim_{y \to 0} \frac{\sin(y)}{y}.
  3. Using the Known Limit:

    • We use the standard limit result limy0sin(y)y=1\lim_{y \to 0} \frac{\sin(y)}{y} = 1.
  4. Final Conclusion:

    • Therefore, limxxsin(1x)=1\lim_{x \to \infty} x \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) = 1.

The solution in the images accurately guides through these steps to arrive at the correct limit.
