Math Problem Statement

LimCos(x)=0,x approach to 3, epsilon and delta form

Solution

To analyze the limit of cos(x)\cos(x) as x3x \to 3 using the ϵ\epsilon-δ\delta definition, we need to express how the values of cos(x)\cos(x) approach 00. However, limx3cos(x)0\lim_{x \to 3} \cos(x) \neq 0 because the cosine function is continuous and periodic, and cos(3)\cos(3) has a definite value.

Instead, let us explore the general ϵ\epsilon-δ\delta framework. Here's how it works:

General ϵ\epsilon-δ\delta Framework:

The limit of a function f(x)f(x) as xcx \to c is LL if, for every ϵ>0\epsilon > 0, there exists a δ>0\delta > 0 such that: 0<xc<δ    f(x)L<ϵ.0 < |x - c| < \delta \implies |f(x) - L| < \epsilon.

Applying to cos(x)\cos(x):

For cos(x)\cos(x), we calculate: cos(3)=a specific numerical value.\cos(3) = \text{a specific numerical value}.

Thus, if the question is whether (\lim_{x \to 3} returns !! user... Reminder of the equation...?we??
