How and why are these three graphs visually related? $y=ex^2 \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)$, $y=ex^2$, $y=-ex^2$

While graphing equations I come across, or find interesting, I found the relationship between graphs $$y=ex^2 \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \qquad y=ex^2 \qquad y=-ex^2$$

How are these three graphs related, and is there some pattern to their points of intersection?

As $-1\le\sin{(\frac{1}{x})}\le1$, we have $-ex^2\le ex^2\sin{(\frac{1}{x})}\le ex^2$.

So, the functions $ex^2$ and $-ex^2$ serve as upper bounds for $ex^2\sin(\frac{1}{x})$
