Let $u=\frac{1}{x}$ . Thus, $x\to0^+\implies u\to\infty$

Therefore, $\lim_{x\to0^+}x^2\cosh\left(\tfrac{1}{x}\right)=\l im_{u\to\infty}\frac{\cosh\left(u\right)}{u^2}=\tf rac{1}{2}\lim_{u\to\infty}\frac{\sinh u}{u}=\tfrac{1}{2}\lim_{u\to\infty}\cosh u=\infty$

Let $u=\frac{1}{x}$ . This time, $x\to0^-\implies u\to-\infty$

Therefore , $\lim_{x\to0^-}x^2\cosh\left(\tfrac{1}{x}\right)=\lim_{u\to-\infty}\frac{\cosh\left(u\right)}{u^2}=\tfrac{1}{2 }\lim_{u\to-\infty}\frac{\sinh u}{u}=\tfrac{1}{2}\lim_{u\to-\infty}\cosh u=\infty$

Therefore, $\lim_{x\to 0}x^2\cosh\left(\tfrac{1}{x}\right)=\infty$
