Math Problem Statement

lim 2x/sin (x) x approaches 0

Solution

To find the limit of 2xsin(x)\frac{2x}{\sin(x)} as x0x \to 0, we can approach this using standard limit results and analysis:

limx02xsin(x)\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{2x}{\sin(x)}

Step 1: Use a known limit

We know the well-established limit:

limx0sin(x)x=1\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin(x)}{x} = 1

This implies that as x0x \to 0, sin(x)\sin(x) behaves similarly to xx. Therefore, we can rewrite the expression as:

2xsin(x)=2xsin(x)\frac{2x}{\sin(x)} = 2 \cdot \frac{x}{\sin(x)}

Step 2: Apply the limit

Now, using the known limit:

limx0xsin(x)=1\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x}{\sin(x)} = 1

Thus:

limx02xsin(x)=21=2\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{2x}{\sin(x)} = 2 \cdot 1 = 2

Final Answer:

limx02xsin(x)=2\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{2x}{\sin(x)} = 2
