limit x->0 sin(2x)/x
1) Compute the limit of sin(2x)x as x → 0
ⓘ The limit of a product of finite limits is the product of the limits
The limit of 2x is 2·0 when x → 0
⇥1.1) Let's calculate: 2·0
⇥ⓘ A product with a zero factor is zero: 2·0 = 0
⇥ 0
ⓘ The function sin is continuous, its limit is its value at the limit of its argument
The limit of sin(2x) is sin(0) when x → 0
⇥1.2) Let's evaluate: sin(0)
⇥ⓘ The sine is the y-coordinate (vertical axis) of the point reached on the unit circle after a rotation of 0 radians from the horizontal axis pointing to the right, this is a remarkable value: sin(0) = 0
⇥ 0
For sin(2x)x, we encounter the indeterminate form 0/0 as x tends to 0
2) We need a Taylor expansion for: sin(2x)
Using Taylor's formula: sin(A) + cos(A)·(X -A) for the function sin, we compute the Taylor expansion for X=2x at the point A=0 of order N=1
sin(0) + cos(0)·(2x + 0)
ⓘ The sine is the y-coordinate (vertical axis) of the point reached on the unit circle after a rotation of 0 radians from the horizontal axis pointing to the right, this is a remarkable value: sin(0) = 0■The cosine is the x-coordinate (horizontal axis) of the point reached on the unit circle after a rotation of 0 radians from the horizontal axis pointing to the right, this is a remarkable value: cos(0) = 1■Adding 0 changes nothing: 2x + 0 = 2x■Multiplying by 1 changes nothing: 1·2x = 2x
0 + 2x
3) Let's restart using the Taylor expansion: 2x
2xx
ⓘ The original denominator must remain nonzero. The fraction is simplified by dividing the numerator and the denominator by their common factor x: 2xx = 2
2
So the limit of sin(2x)x is 2 when x → 0
