Limit of (cot x)/x when x->infinity

$\begingroup$

The rule say that:

Limit x->Anything 0*(sin x)=0.
Limit x->Anything 0*(cos x)=0.

Does this apply here too?

Limit x->infinity (1/x)*(|cot x|)=0.

I mean, Does the rule still apply here: Limit x->Anything 0*[0,infinity)=0 ?

No, it doesn't apply here, since $|\cot x|$ is not bounded. The correct rule is $$\lim_{x \to anything}(0)(\mbox{bounded})=0$$

Moreover, the limit $$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{|\cot x|}{x}$$ does not exist.
