[Math] convergence of $\{\sin(1/n)\}$ sequence using limit definition

limitssequences-and-series

how to prove convergence of $\{\sin(1/n)\}$ sequence when $n$ goes infinity, using limit definition?
I proved that $\{\sin(n)\}$ is divergent but i can not do this with that method.

Let $\epsilon>0$. $\sin(x)$ is continueous at $x=0$ and $\sin(0)=0$.

As a result there exists $a>0$ such that $\forall x\in[-a,a],|\sin(x)|<\epsilon$.

What is more since $\lim_\infty\frac{1}n=0$ we have $N>0$ such that $\forall n\ge N,\left|\frac{1}n\right|<a$.

As a result $\forall n>N,|\sin(\frac{1}n)|<\epsilon$.

Conclusion : $\boxed{\lim_{n\to\infty}\sin(\frac{1}n)=0}$
