lim x → ∞ (x(sin (7/x)))?

webassign says "Hint: Let x = 1/t and find the limit as t → 0+" but i keep getting 0 as the limit anyway and that's not the right answer.......

Update:

please explain how to solve this in detail :)

    limit x->infinity [x*sin(7/x)]

    t = limit x->infinity 7/x = 7 * limit x->infinity 1/x = 7 * 0 = 0 ; x = 7/t

    limit t->0 (7*sin(t)/t) = 7

    When x is extremely large, then 7/x is a small number. Sin 7/x=7/x. You get the limit as x 7/x=7

    note lim t → 0 sin(t)/t = 1

    lim x→∞ x*sin(7/x)

    = lim x→∞ 7/(7/x) sin(7/x)

    let t = 7/x

    = lim t→0 7*sin(t)/t

    = 7 lim t→0 sin(t)/t

    = 7*1 = 7
