Math Problem Statement
Solution
The expression in the image appears to involve the limit:
Solution:
-
Substitute : Substituting into the expression gives:
-
Simplify the trigonometric part: However, is undefined because the tangent function has vertical asymptotes at odd multiples of .
-
Analysis of the behavior near : As , the term approaches , and the tangent term grows without bound (approaching or ) due to the vertical asymptote of the tangent function.
-
Conclusion: The limit does not exist because the tangent function becomes unbounded as .
Let me know if you'd like further clarification or additional examples. Here are some follow-up questions to deepen understanding:
- Why is the tangent function undefined at ?
- How can we analyze the behavior of limits involving undefined trigonometric functions?
- What techniques can we use to determine whether limits exist near vertical asymptotes?
- How would this limit change if approached a value where is defined, such as ?
- Can l’Hôpital’s Rule help in solving limits with undefined terms?
Tip: Always analyze the domain of the function and its behavior near points of discontinuity when solving limits.
