Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve the problem using the Squeeze Theorem, let’s proceed step by step.
Problem Setup
The function is bounded as follows for (domain of ):
We are tasked to compute the following limit using the Squeeze Theorem:
Step 1: Analyze the Bounds
-
First, simplify the denominator in the lower bound:
- .
- Therefore, the lower bound becomes:
-
Simplify the denominator in the upper bound:
- .
- Therefore, the upper bound becomes:
Thus, the inequality for can be rewritten as:
Step 2: Multiply by
To isolate , multiply through the inequality by (note: near ):
Step 3: Take the Limit as
-
Behavior of the lower bound:
- As , oscillates between and .
- Thus, the lower bound approaches a value between and .
-
Behavior of the upper bound:
- becomes as .
- Therefore, the upper bound becomes:
Thus, near , we have:
Step 4: Apply the Squeeze Theorem
The Squeeze Theorem states that if a function is squeezed between two values that both approach the same limit, then the function itself approaches that limit.
Here, as , the lower bound oscillates between and , and the upper bound approaches . Since the lower bound remains finite and the upper bound approaches a small positive value, the limit of must be 0.

Squeeze Theorem: If g(x) ≤ f(x) ≤ h(x) and \( \lim_{x \to a} g(x) = L = \lim_{x \to a} h(x) \), then \( \lim_{x \to a} f(x) = L \).
Quadratic Factorization: \( x^2 + 10x + 25 = (x+5)^2 \), \( 2x^2 + 20x + 50 = 2(x+5)^2 \).
