Check my proof for this limit relation please

$begingroup$


Consider two functions $f, g:mathbb{R} rightarrow mathbb{R} $ and $ain mathbb{R} $. We know that $lim_{x to a} f(x) =0$ and $g$ is bounded.

Is it true that $lim_{x to a} f(x) cdot g(x) =0$?

My attempt :Yes, it is.

Since $g$ is bounded $exists M>0$ so that $-Mle g(x) le M$.

If we multiply this relation by
$f(x) $ and apply the squeeze theorem we get that $lim_{x to a} f(x) cdot g(x) =0$.

Be careful when you say multiply this relation by $f(x)$, we can't say $-M f(x) le f(x) g(x) le M f(x)$ because $f(x)$ could have been negative.



But yup, if we have $|g(x)| le M$ and we can multiply by $|f(x)|$ and obtain $$0le|f(x)g(x)|le M|f(x)|$$ and now we can use squeeze theorem.

    Thank you! I had had a feeling that I had a silly in my solution, but I am happy that the conclusion is still true.
