Let $A \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ and let $f,g \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^m$ be two functions on $A$ such that $f$ is bounded. Let $c$ be the limit point of $A$. Show that if $\lim \limits_{x \to c}g(x)=0$ then $\lim \limits_{x \to c}(g(x)f(x))=0$

My attempt:

Since $f$ is bounded, there exists $M>0$ such that $|f(x)|\leq M$ for all $x \in A$

Let $\epsilon>0$. Since $\lim_{x\rightarrow c}g(x)=0$, there exists a $\delta_1>0$ such that $$ |x-a|<\delta_1\Rightarrow |g(x)|<\epsilon $$

Not sure where to go from here

    Hint: choose $\delta$ such that $|g(x)| < \frac{\epsilon}{M}$. – 2017-02-23

    Just note that $|g(x)f(x)|\le |g(x)\cdot |f(x)|\le M|g(x)|$ – 2017-02-23

    specifically, i dont know what the epsilon delta limit definition for $\lim \limits_{x \to c}(g(x)f(x))=0$ looks like and i think that's where i am having trouble – 2017-02-23

    Is it just for $\epsilon >0$ there exists $\delta >0$ such that $|x-a|<\delta \Rightarrow |g(x)f(x)|<\epsilon$? – 2017-02-23

    @combostudent Yes you're right, except that the $a$ is supposed to be a $c$. Please let me know if you need more clarification. – 2017-02-25

From your attempt, for any $\epsilon/ M>0$ there exists $\delta >0$ such that $|x-c|<\delta \Rightarrow |g(x)|<\epsilon/M$. Since we know that $|f(x)|
