Mastering Limits: Evaluating Sin(Ax)/X Using L’Hopital’S Rule And Squeeze Theorem

lim as x->0 of sinax/x

a

To evaluate this limit, we can use L’Hopital’s rule or the squeeze theorem.

Using L’Hopital’s rule:

lim as x->0 of sinax/x

= lim as x->0 of a*cos(ax)/1

= a*cos(0)/1

= a

Therefore, the limit as x approaches 0 of sin(ax)/x is equal to ‘a’.

Using the squeeze theorem:

We know that -1 <= sin(ax)/x <= 1 for all values of x (except x=0). Multiplying both sides by 'a', we get: -a <= a*sin(ax)/x <= a Using the squeeze theorem, we can say that as x approaches zero, the limit of a*sin(ax)/x is equal to 'a'. Therefore, the limit as x approaches 0 of sin(ax)/x is equal to 'a'.
