Give example of functions f and g such that #lim_(xrarrc)[f(x)*g(x)]# exists but either #lim_(xrarrc)f(x)# or #lim_(xrarrc)g(x)# does not?

One example is #f(x)=1/x# and #g(x)=arctan(1/x)#

#lim_(xto0)1/x="undefined"# (since it goes to #+-oo#, #oo# from the right and #-oo# from the left)
#lim_(xto0)arctan(1/x)="undefined"# (since it goes to #+-pi/2#, #pi/2# from the right and #-pi/2# from the left)

#lim_(xto0)arctan(1/x)/x=+oo# (since #ooxxpi/2=oo# and #-pi/2xx-oo=oo#)

#c=0# and #f(x) = x# and #g(x) = 1/x#
