You need to show f(0)=0. Without this we don't know that limx0f(0)g(x)lim_{x\rightarrow0} \frac{f(0)}{g(x)} exists, since we have the g(x) tending to zero. Otherwise good.


How does one show f(0)=0? If I am not mistaken, you mentioned that f(0)=0 by showing that lim as x tends to 0 of f(x) is zero then using continuity which is not very clear to me. :frown:

for (i) why not just (an)=(n)orlog(n)(a_n)= \sqrt(n) or \log(n)

Neither of them are bounded - this question confused me too, emailed my supervisor about it :s-smilie:

Edit - after messing with it some more I found out cos(nπ)cos(\sqrt{n} \pi) works, using the inequality cosacosbab|cos a - cos b| \leq |a -b| and the fact ((n+1)(n))0(\sqrt(n+1) - \sqrt(n)) \rightarrow 0
