Math Problem Statement

Draw the graph of sin 1/x and explain the steps

Solution

Here is the graph of sin(1x)\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right), showing the key characteristics we discussed: rapid oscillations as xx approaches 0, and flattening toward 0 as x|x| increases.

Would you like more details on any part of the explanation or graph?

Here are five related questions to explore this further:

  1. What happens to sin(1x)\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) as xx \to \infty?
  2. How does the function behave when x0x \to 0 from the left side?
  3. Why can't we define sin(1x)\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) at x=0x = 0?
  4. How do the oscillations of sin(1x)\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) compare to other functions like 1x\frac{1}{x}?
  5. Can sin(1x)\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) be integrated over an interval containing x=0x = 0?

Tip: When graphing functions with undefined points or rapid oscillations, focus on marking key behaviors and avoiding unnecessary clutter near undefined regions.
