DNE

#lim_(theta to oo) theta cos theta#

We know that: #-1 le cos theta le 1#

So:

#-theta le theta cos theta le theta#

And:

#lim_(theta to oo) -theta le lim_(theta to oo) theta cos theta le lim_(theta to oo) theta#

#implies -oo le lim_(theta to oo) theta cos theta le oo#

Maybe it's stating the obvious but because cosine is periodic, there is no limit.
