Let's go through each limit problem step by step.
(a) limx→0xtanx
To solve this, we use the fact that as x→0, tanx≈x. Therefore:
limx→0xtanx=limx→0xx=1
Thus, the answer is:
1
(b) limθ→0θsin2θ
Rewrite sin2θ using a substitution. Let u=2θ. Then, as θ→0, u→0 as well. The expression becomes:
limθ→0θsin2θ=limu→02usinu
=2⋅limu→0usinu
We know from the standard limit that limu→0usinu=1. So:
=2⋅1=2
Thus, the answer is:
2
(c) limx→0sin5xsin3x
To solve this, we use the fact that limx→0axsinax=1. Rewrite the limit as:
limx→0sin5xsin3x=limx→03xsin3x⋅sin5x5x⋅53
Applying the standard limits:
limx→03xsin3x=1andlimx→0sin5x5x=1
Therefore:
=1⋅1⋅53=53
Thus, the answer is:
53
