We use squeeze theorem, which says that for three functions g(x), f(x), and h(x),
If g ( x ) f ( x ) h ( x ) , and lim x a g ( x ) = lim x a h ( x ) = L
then lim x a f ( x ) = L .
lim x ± sin x x = 0
Explanation:
Given that f ( x ) = sin x x
We know that sin x oscillates between -1 and +1 for all values of x. Thus, if we set g ( x ) = - 1 x and h ( x ) = + 1 x we have located the two functions satisfying the first condition that g ( x ) f ( x ) h ( x ) which can be written as
Given that - 1 x sin x x + 1 x for all values of x in ( - , )
We know that lim x ± - 1 x = 0 and also that lim x ± + 1 x = 0
It follows from the squeeze theorem that
lim x ± sin x x = 0
