Math Problem Statement

What’s the answer for number 2?

Solution

The answer for the limit in question is:

limxxsin(1x)=1\lim_{x \to \infty} x \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) = 1

This conclusion follows from the steps shown in the solution. The key part is using the substitution y=1xy = \frac{1}{x}, which converts the limit into a known standard limit:

limy0sin(y)y=1\lim_{y \to 0} \frac{\sin(y)}{y} = 1

Thus, the original limit evaluates to 1.

Would you like any further clarification on this problem?


Here are some more questions related to this problem:

  1. How does substituting y=1xy = \frac{1}{x} simplify the problem?
  2. Can the result be generalized for other trigonometric functions?
  3. What would happen if the function inside the sine were different, e.g., sin(2x)\sin\left(\frac{2}{x}\right)?
  4. What are the conditions under which the limit limy0sin(y)y=1\lim_{y \to 0} \frac{\sin(y)}{y} = 1 holds true?
  5. How can we verify the result using L'Hôpital's Rule?
  6. What if the limit was limx0+xsin(1x)\lim_{x \to 0^+} x \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)?
  7. Can this approach be applied to other types of limits involving trigonometric functions?
  8. What is the geometric interpretation of limy0sin(y)y\lim_{y \to 0} \frac{\sin(y)}{y}?

Tip: Always check whether a limit problem can be simplified by a substitution, especially when dealing with trigonometric functions or other complex expressions.
