    The least you can do is compute the derivative first. Then we can think about why it is not integrable.

    I actually think it can be possible to answer this without calculating the derivative, using the fundamental theorem of calculus and the fact that f(x) (as the antiderivative of its derivative ) does not follow the properties of an integral..?

For $x ne 0$ we have $f'(x)=2x sin(1/x^2)-frac{1}{x}cos(1/x^2)$. Then:



$f'(frac{1}{sqrt{n pi}})=-sqrt{n pi}cos(n pi)=(-1)^{n+1}sqrt{n pi}$,



thus $|f'(frac{1}{sqrt{n pi}})|=sqrt{n pi} to infty$ as $n to infty.$



Similar: $|f'(-frac{1}{sqrt{n pi}})|=sqrt{n pi} to infty$ as $n to infty.$



Conclusion: if $[a,b]$ is an intervall with $0 in [a,b]$ , then $f'$ is not bounded on $[a,b]$, hence $f'$ is not R- integrable on $[a,b]$.

    For $x ne 0$ we have $f'(x)=2x sin(1/x^2)-frac{1}{x}cos(1/x^2)$. Then:



    $f'(frac{1}{sqrt{n pi}})=-sqrt{n pi}cos(n pi)=(-1)^{n+1}sqrt{n pi}$,



    thus $|f'(frac{1}{sqrt{n pi}})|=sqrt{n pi} to infty$ as $n to infty.$



    Similar: $|f'(-frac{1}{sqrt{n pi}})|=sqrt{n pi} to infty$ as $n to infty.$



    Conclusion: if $[a,b]$ is an intervall with $0 in [a,b]$ , then $f'$ is not bounded on $[a,b]$, hence $f'$ is not R- integrable on $[a,b]$.
