Correct: Your answer is correct.

Let's work through this step by step. The function in question is \( f(x) = \frac{6 \sin(x)}{x} \).

### Step 1: Understanding the Limit
As \( x \) approaches 0, we can use the standard limit result:
\[
\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin(x)}{x} = 1
\]
This implies:
\[
\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{6 \sin(x)}{x} = 6
\]
So, the limit at \( x = 0 \) is indeed 6.

### Step 2: Calculate \( f(x) \) at Given Points
We need to calculate \( f(x) \) at the given points and round them to five decimal places.

#### For \( x = -0.1 \):
\[
f(-0.1) = \frac{6 \sin(-0.1)}{-0.1} \approx 5.98333
\]
(Note: this matches your provided value, so it's correct.)

#### For \( x = -0.01 \):
\[
f(-0.01) = \frac{6 \sin(-0.01)}{-0.01} \approx 5.99983
\]
(Again, this matches your provided value.)

#### For \( x = -0.001 \):
\[
f(-0.001) = \frac{6 \sin(-0.001)}{-0.001} \approx 5.99999
\]
(This matches your provided value.)

#### For \( x = 0.001 \):
\[
f(0.001) = \frac{6 \sin(0.001)}{0.001} \approx 5.99999
\]
(This matches your provided value.)

#### For \( x = 0.01 \):
\[
f(0.01) = \frac{6 \sin(0.01)}{0.01} \approx 5.99983
\]
(This matches your provided value.)

#### For \( x = 0.1 \):
\[
f(0.1) = \frac{6 \sin(0.1)}{0.1} \approx 5.98333
\]
(This matches your provided value.)

### Step 3: The Limit Value
As you've correctly noted, the limit as \( x \) approaches 0 for the function \( \frac{6 \sin(x)}{x} \) is indeed \( 6 \).

### Step 4: Complete the Table

\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|}
\hline
x & f(x) \\
\hline
-0.1 & 5.98333 \\
-0.01 & 5.99983 \\
-0.001 & 5.99999 \\
0 & 6.00000 \\
0.001 & 5.99999 \\
0.01 & 5.99983 \\
0.1 & 5.98333 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

The table is now complete.

### Conclusion
- The limit \( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{6 \sin(x)}{x} \) is confirmed to be \( 6 \).
