 Hint: (1) what are the local min and local max for $2 + \sin(1/x)$? (2) How does multipling the factor $x^4$ change your previous answer? (3) You can try to change the variable, let $u=1/x$, then the function become $(2 + \sin(u)) / u^4$, the question then becomes: "can you find a sequence of local minimums as $u$ goes to $+\infty$?".  Hint: (1) what are the local min and local max for $2 + \sin(1/x)$?

 If you find constructing local minimum too difficult, you can prove something weaker: there is a sequence of non-zero critical points of $f$ convergent to $0$, where a critical point of $f$ is a point $x$ with $f'(x)=0$.  If you find constructing local minimum too difficult, you can prove something weaker: there is a sequence of non-zero critical points of $f$ convergent to $0$, where a critical point of $f$ is a point $x$ with $f'(x)=0$.

-Hint: Let $\varphi_n(x) =  4^{-n} \varphi(4^n x)$. For each point $a \in \R$ and each positive integer $n$, show that we have $h_n = 4^{-n-1}$ or $h_n=-4^{-n-1}$ such that that $|\varphi_n(x + h_n) - \varphi_n(x)| = |h_n|$. Then show that, for any integer $m > n$, then $\varphi_m(x+h_n) = \varphi_m(x)$, and for any $m < n$ we still have $|\varphi_m(x + h_n) - \varphi_m(x)| = |h_n|$. Then, the quotient $(f(x+h_n) - f(x))/h_n$ is a sum of $n+1$ terms of $\pm 1$, and you may deduce some contradiction to $\lim_{n \to \infty} (f(x+h_n) - f(x))/h_n$ exist. +Hint: Let $\varphi_n(x) =  4^{-n} \varphi(4^n x)$.

 Extra question (you are free to take a guess. This question has no points). Let $f(x)$ be a differentiable function on $[-1,1]$ with $f'(x)$ continuous. Assume $x=0$ is the unique global minimum of $f$, i.e., for any $x \neq 0$, we have $f(x) > f(0)$. Is it true that there exists a $\delta > 0$, such that $f'(x) < 0$ for $x \in (-\delta, 0)$ and $f'(x)>0$ for $x \in (0 ,\delta)$? (Just as the case if $f(x)=x^2$)?  Extra question (you are free to take a guess. This question has no points). Let $f(x)$ be a differentiable function on $[-1,1]$ with $f'(x)$ continuous.
