Suppose $(x_n, sin(frac{1}{x_n}))$ is a sequence in $S$ that converges (in the plane) to $(p,q)$. This means that $x_n to p$ and $sin(frac{1}{x_n}) to q$.
But $x_n in (0,1]$ so $p in overline{(0,1]}=[0,1]$. If $p >0$ we know by continuity of the sine and the $frac{1}{x}$ function that $q_ntosin( frac1{p})=q$ (as limits are unique) so that $(p,q) in S$. Otherwise $p=0$ and we can only say that $q in [-1,1]$ as all values $sin(frac{1}{x_n}) in [-1,1]$ and $[-1,1]$ is closed.
This shows that $S subseteq overline{S} subseteq Scup ({0}times [-1,1])$.



On the other hand, if $(0,q)$ is in ${0}times [-1,1]$, then pick $p>0$ such that $sin(p) = q$. Then $p_n=frac{1}{p+2npi}$, for $n in mathbb{N}$ is in $(0,1]$ for $nge 1$ and $p_n to 0$ and $sin(frac{1}{p_n}) = sin(p+2npi) = sin(p)=q$ for all those $n$, and $(p_n,q)=(p_n, sin(frac{1}{p_n})) in S$ and this sequence converges to $(0,q)$ and so $(0,q) in overline{S}$. So we have now shown:



$$Scup ({0}times[-1,1]) subseteq overline{S} subseteq S cup ({0}times[-1,1])$$



and we have equality.

    Let $x$ be any point in $L = {0}×[-1,1]$.

    Show for all open $U$ nhood $x$, $U cap S$ is not empty.

    Thus $L$ subset $overline S$ and $L cup S$ subset $overline S$.



    To show there are no other points $p$ in $overline S$ find an open ball about $p$ that misses $S$.
