Since $-1\leq \sin(\frac{1}{x})\leq 1$, we have
\[-x^2\leq x^2 \sin (\frac{1}{x}) \leq x^2.\]
Also
\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} -x^2\leq \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} x^2 \sin (\frac{1}{x}) \leq \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} x^2.\]
Since $\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} -x^2=\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} x^2=0$, by the squeez theorem ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squeeze_theorem ) we conclude that
\[0\leq \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} x^2 \sin (\frac{1}{x}) \leq 0.\]
Therefore
\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} x^2 \sin (\frac{1}{x})=0.\]
