Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Evaluate the limit: lim (x -> 0) (x^3)/(sin(x)) (2022)
  • Step 1: Identify the limit we need to evaluate: lim (x -> 0) (x^3)/(sin(x)).
  • Step 2: Understand that as x approaches 0, both the numerator (x^3) and the denominator (sin(x)) approach 0.
  • Step 3: Recognize that this creates a 0/0 indeterminate form, which means we need to analyze it further.
  • Step 4: Recall that sin(x) is approximately equal to x when x is very close to 0. This means we can replace sin(x) with x for small values of x.
  • Step 5: Rewrite the limit using this approximation: lim (x -> 0) (x^3)/(sin(x)) ≈ lim (x -> 0) (x^3)/x.
  • Step 6: Simplify the expression: (x^3)/x = x^2.
  • Step 7: Now evaluate the limit of x^2 as x approaches 0: lim (x -> 0) x^2 = 0.
  • Step 8: Conclude that the limit is 0.
  • Limit Evaluation – Understanding how to evaluate limits, particularly when both the numerator and denominator approach zero.
  • L'Hôpital's Rule – Applying L'Hôpital's Rule for indeterminate forms (0/0) to find limits.
  • Behavior of Functions Near Zero – Recognizing the behavior of polynomial functions and trigonometric functions as they approach zero.
