Math Problem Statement
lim x–infinity (2/x times sinx)
Solution
To evaluate the limit:
We can approach this by analyzing each part of the expression:
- As , approaches 0, because the denominator grows larger without bound.
- The function oscillates between -1 and 1 for all values of , so it does not tend to a specific limit.
Therefore, we have a product of something approaching 0 and something bounded. The boundedness of means that is squeezed to 0 as .
Thus, the limit is:
Would you like further clarification on any part of this? Here are some related questions:
- What is the Squeeze Theorem, and how is it applied in limits?
- How do oscillating functions like sine affect the behavior of limits?
- Can the limit of as be generalized?
- What are common limits involving trigonometric functions?
- How do you evaluate limits involving products of small and oscillating functions?
Tip: When evaluating limits with oscillating functions, consider how boundedness and multiplication by vanishing factors (like ) affect the result.
