So the Squeeze Theorem says $\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{\sin(x^2)}{x}=0$

The derivative of $\frac{\sin x}{x^2}$ is $\frac{\cos x}{x^2}-\frac{2\sin x}{x^3}$, which clearly goes to $0$ as $x\to\infty$.

This is a mess and everyone understands what she/he wants (Rock) : I meant that in my example $\frac{sin x}{x}$ I forgot to square the denominator when differentiating and thus got a wrong derivative.
