lim as x goes to 0:
(2sinxcosx)/2x

I'm pretty sure I have it right (answer being 1) but i'd like an explanation to compare to my own. Thanks!

Respuesta :

They want you to make use of this limit identity:

[tex]\rm \lim\limits_{t\to0}\dfrac{sin(t)}{t}=1[/tex]

y=sin(x) and y=x approach zero at the same rate.

So with your problem you simply apply your Sine Double Angle Identity,

[tex]\rm \lim\limits_{x\to0}\dfrac{2sin x cos x}{2x}=\lim\limits_{x\to0}\dfrac{sin(2x)}{2x}[/tex]

From this point, hopefully you can see that we have our identity with t=2x. So yes, you are correct :) the result is 1.
