Math Problem Statement

lim x->0+ x/[e^[(x-1)csc x]] do it step by step

Solution

To solve limx0+xe(x1)cscx\lim_{x \to 0^+} \frac{x}{e^{(x-1) \csc x}} step by step, we proceed as follows:


Step 1: Rewrite the expression

The given limit is: limx0+xe(x1)cscx\lim_{x \to 0^+} \frac{x}{e^{(x-1) \csc x}}

Here, cscx=1sinx\csc x = \frac{1}{\sin x}. Substituting this, we rewrite the expression as: limx0+xe(x1)1sinx\lim_{x \to 0^+} \frac{x}{e^{(x-1) \cdot \frac{1}{\sin x}}}


Step 2: Simplify the exponent

The exponent of ee is: (x1)cscx=(x1)1sinx(x-1) \csc x = (x-1) \cdot \frac{1}{\sin x}

Split the expression into two terms: (x1)1sinx=xsinx1sinx(x-1) \cdot \frac{1}{\sin x} = \frac{x}{\sin x} - \frac{1}{\sin x}

Thus, the expression becomes: xexsinx1sinx\frac{x}{e^{\frac{x}{\sin x} - \frac{1}{\sin x}}}


Step 3: Analyze xsinx\frac{x}{\sin x} as x0+x \to 0^+

As x0+x \to 0^+, xsinx1\frac{x}{\sin x} \to 1 since sinxx\sin x \sim x for small xx.


Step 4: Analyze 1sinx-\frac{1}{\sin x} as x0+x \to 0^+

As x0+x \to 0^+, sinxx    1sinx1x\sin x \sim x \implies \frac{1}{\sin x} \to \frac{1}{x}

Thus, the exponent becomes: xsinx1sinx11x\frac{x}{\sin x} - \frac{1}{\sin x} \to 1 - \frac{1}{x}


Step 5: Simplify the limit expression

The expression becomes: limx0+xe11x\lim_{x \to 0^+} \frac{x}{e^{1 - \frac{1}{x}}}

Here, e11xe^{1 - \frac{1}{x}} grows very large as x0+x \to 0^+, since 1x\frac{1}{x} \to \infty. Specifically: e11xe1xe^{1 - \frac{1}{x}} \sim e^{-\frac{1}{x}}

Thus, the fraction simplifies to: xe11xxe1x=xe1x\frac{x}{e^{1 - \frac{1}{x}}} \sim \frac{x}{e^{-\frac{1}{x}}} = x e^{\frac{1}{x}}


Step 6: Analyze xe1xx e^{\frac{1}{x}} as x0+x \to 0^+

As x0+x \to 0^+, e1xe^{\frac{1}{x}} grows much faster than any polynomial or xx, leading to: xe1x0x e^{\frac{1}{x}} \to 0


Final Answer:

limx0+xe(x1)cscx=0\lim_{x \to 0^+} \frac{x}{e^{(x-1) \csc x}} = 0
