We have to evaluate: x → ∞ lim sin x x = l i m x → ∞ x sin x 1
Let y = x 1 then y → 0 . Now, we have
lim y → 0 y 1 sin y 1 1
= lim y → 0 y sin y 1 1
= 0 × sin ∞ 1
= 0 1 → Limit does not exist
Since the value of sin x lies between 1 and -1 and keeps moving, so the limit does not exist.
Then, by your logic, x → ∞ lim x sin x should not exist. But it does exist and evaluates to 0 .

what i think he meant was that due to the fact that sin(x) keeps changing between -1 and 1, this limit can either become ∞ or -∞, which obviously aren't the same
As @Nihar Mahajan has said, this isn't a way to conclude the limit doesn't exist.

For lim x → ∞ ( sin ( x ) x ) Use the Limit Divergence Criterion test.
If there exist two sequences, { x n } n = 1 ∞ and { y n } n = 1 ∞ with
Then lim x → c f ( x ) = ∞ .
FIN!!!
