Is $$ f colon (1, +infty) to mathbb{R} ,
f(x) = sin frac{1}{x} $$ uniformly continuous? I think it could be but can't prove it. Would appreciate the help.
Edit: I'm looking for an answer in which mean value theorem and boundedness of the derivative isn't used.
So, I'm left with the definition and Lipschitz

yes but I'm looking at $ (1, +infty)$ not $mathbb{R}$ so it's not the same question?

Note that $f$ has bounded derivative. The result follows from mean value theorem.

Let $x$ and $y$ be different points in $(1,+infty)$. By the Mean Value Theorem, there exists a point $z$ between $x$ and $y$ such that
$$
f(x)-f(y)=cos(frac{1}{z})(frac{1}{x}-frac{1}{y})=cos(frac{1}{z})(frac{y-x}{xy})
$$
Then
$$
|f(x)-f(y)|leq|x-y|
$$
So $f$ is $1$-Lipschitz and, in particular, uniformly continuous.

$f^{prime}(x)= (-1/ x^2)(cos (1/x))$, which is bounded. So, given function is uniformly continuous.
