Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. 2.99500
Correct: Your answer is correct. Use the result to estimate the limit. Use a graphing utility to graph the function to confirm your result. (Round your answer to five decimal places.) lim x→0 3 sin(x) x ≈ 3.00000
Correct: Your answer is correct.
Solution
Let's break this down and complete the table step by step for the function .
Steps:
-
Understand the Limit Expression: This limit is very similar to the standard limit: By multiplying by 3, we expect the limit of as to be 3.
-
Values of at Specific Points: Now, we can compute at the given values. For each , use the formula:
- For , we know (already provided).
- For , the correct value was not given, so we'll recompute it.
- For , recompute the correct value.
- For , we know from the limit calculation that (since the limit approaches 3).
- For , recompute the correct value.
- For , recompute the correct value.
- For , we know (already provided).
-
Compute the Missing Values:
I'll calculate these values for you now.Here are the calculated values for at the given -values:
-0.1 | 2.99500 |
-0.01 | 2.99995 |
-0.001 | 2.99999 |
0 (limit) | 3.00000 (as ) |
0.001 | 2.99999 |
0.01 | 2.99995 |
0.1 | 2.99500 |
Conclusion:
The table is now complete, and the limit as for is .
Tip:
Whenever dealing with limits involving as , it's helpful to remember that .
