The function is continuous on $(0,\infty )$, hence a measurable function. On $(0,1)$ its absolute value is at most one, while on $[1,\infty )$ the elementary estimate $|\sin u|\le |u|$ gives $|\sin (1/x^3)|\le x^{-3}$. By comparison for the Lebesgue integral,It is therefore a Lebesgue integrable function. The oscillations near zero do not obstruct absolute integrability because their amplitude stays bounded on an interval of finite measure.

Again the function is continuous on its domain and therefore a measurable function. For $0<x<1$, $|(\log x)e^{-x}|\le -\log x$, andThis standard improper integral follows from the antiderivative $x-x\log x$ and $x\log x\to 0$ at zero. For $x\ge 1$, $0\le \log x\le x$, and integration by parts gives ${\int }_1^{\infty }x{e}^{-x}dx=2/e$. ThusThe logarithmic singularity is integrable and the exponential factor controls the tail, so this too is a Lebesgue integrable function.
