consider the function f(x)=sin(1/x) how do you think the function behaves near x=0? Explain your reasoning

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wiggles like crazy

OpenStudy (imstuck):

It does but it would leave a hole a x=0 because the function has an asymptote there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how does it behave near 0?

how would i explain how the function behaves as it approaches 0? just that it curves a lot?

geerky42 (geerky42):

You can say that it wobble more as x get closer to 0. http://www.math.washington.edu/~conroy/general/sin1overx/
