Im stuck at the limit of f(h)/h as h approaches 0

You have limh0h2sin1hh=limh0hsin1h\displaystyle \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{h^2\sin \frac 1 h} h = \lim_{h \to 0} h\sin \frac 1 h. If you consider that 1sin1h1\displaystyle -1 \le \sin \frac 1 h \le 1, you can use the squeeze theorem here. (first show that the limit exists by showing that the right hand limit is equal to the left hand limit)

Thanks that makes sense.

Do we not have to consider the second part of the function though?
