Solution

It seems the screenshot is attempting to solve the limit limx0sin(7x)sin(6x)\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin(7x)}{\sin(6x)}, and the direct substitution approach is producing an indeterminate form.

The Correct Approach:

  1. Substitute x=0x = 0 directly into the limit:

    • sin(7x)0\sin(7x) \to 0 and sin(6x)0\sin(6x) \to 0, hence 00\frac{0}{0}, which is an indeterminate form.
  2. Apply L'Hôpital's Rule: Since we have an indeterminate form of 00\frac{0}{0}, we can differentiate the numerator and denominator.

    • The derivative of sin(7x)\sin(7x) is 7cos(7x)7 \cos(7x),
    • The derivative of sin(6x)\sin(6x) is 6cos(6x)6 \cos(6x).

    Now the limit becomes: limx07cos(7x)6cos(6x).\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{7 \cos(7x)}{6 \cos(6x)}.

    At x=0x = 0:

    • cos(7(0))=1\cos(7(0)) = 1,
    • cos(6(0))=1\cos(6(0)) = 1.

    Thus, the limit is: 7161=76.\frac{7 \cdot 1}{6 \cdot 1} = \frac{7}{6}.

Explanation of the Error:

The error occurs because, instead of directly substituting the constants 77 and 66 from the sine functions, the limit needed the application of a rule (L'Hôpital's or simplification using small-angle approximations) to handle the indeterminate form.

Would you like further details or clarifications on this process?

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. How does L'Hôpital's Rule work, and when can it be applied?
  2. What is the small-angle approximation for sine and how could it be applied here?
  3. Can this limit be solved using series expansion of sine functions?
  4. What are other indeterminate forms besides 00\frac{0}{0} and how are they handled?
  5. Can limits like this one be solved graphically to verify the result?

Tip: When encountering indeterminate forms like 00\frac{0}{0}, consider using L'Hôpital's Rule or approximations like Taylor series to simplify the limit.
