Math Problem Statement
what is the limit as x approaches 0 when f(x)= sin(5x)/x
Solution
The limit of as approaches 0 can be evaluated using standard trigonometric limit properties.
We know that:
Let's manipulate the given function . We can rewrite it as:
Now, using the fact that:
We multiply by 5:
Thus, the limit is:
