Solution Steps

To find the limit of \(\sin(1/x)\) as \(x\) approaches 0, we need to consider the behavior of the function. As \(x\) approaches 0, \(1/x\) becomes very large, causing \(\sin(1/x)\) to oscillate between -1 and 1 without settling at any particular value. Therefore, the limit does not exist.

Step 1: Analyze the Limit

We need to evaluate the limit \( \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \sin(1/x) \). As \( x \) approaches 0, the term \( 1/x \) approaches infinity, causing \( \sin(1/x) \) to oscillate between -1 and 1.

Step 2: Determine the Behavior of the Function

Since \( \sin(1/x) \) oscillates indefinitely without approaching a specific value as \( x \) approaches 0, we conclude that the limit does not exist. The function does not settle at any particular value, and instead, it continues to oscillate.

Step 3: Conclude the Result

The output indicates that the limit is bounded between -1 and 1, but does not converge to a single value. Therefore, we state that the limit does not exist.

Final Answer

The limit \( \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \sin(1/x) \) does not exist, so we can express this as \\(\boxed{\text{DNE}}\\).
