A.(i) To show that f is continuous at 0, we have to show that if {xn} is a sequence which converges to 0, then
{f(xn)} → f(0). So
Case 1: Let {xn} be a sequence of irrationals which converge to 0. Then we have f(0) = 0 since 0 ∈ Q. We
now have to show that f(xn) = xn · sin
(
1
xn
)
→ 0. But this is clear since xn → 0
Case 2: Now if...
