When f(x) is a differentiable function
satisfying [tex]\lim_{x \to \\\pi } \frac{f(x)}{x-\pi}[/tex]
Find [tex]\lim_{x \to \\\pi } \frac{sin(2f(x))}{x-\pi}[/tex]


Sagot :

Presumably, the first limit is some finite number

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\pi} \frac{f(x)}{x-\pi} = c[/tex]

Since x - π clearly approaches 0 as x approaches π, we must also have f(x) approaching 0,

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\pi} f(x) = 0[/tex]

Recall the double angle identity,

sin(2t) = 2 sin(t) cos(t)

and rewrite the limit as

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\pi} \frac{\sin(2 f(x))}{x - \pi} = \lim_{x\to\pi} \frac{2 \sin(f(x)) \cos(f(x))}{x - \pi} = 2 \lim_{x\to\pi} \frac{\sin(f(x))}{f(x)} \times \frac{f(x) \cos(f(x))}{x - \pi}[/tex]

Recall that

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin(x)}x=1[/tex]

which means

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\pi}\frac{\sin(f(x))}{f(x)} = \lim_{f(x)\to0}\frac{\sin(f(x))}{f(x)} = 1[/tex]

and by continuity,

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\pi} \cos(f(x)) = \cos\left(\lim_{x\to\pi} f(x)\right) = \cos(0) = 1[/tex]

Then

[tex]\displaystyle 2 \lim_{x\to\pi} \frac{\sin(f(x))}{f(x)} \times \frac{f(x) \cos(f(x))}{x - \pi} \\\\ = 2 \left(\lim_{x\to\pi}\frac{\sin(f(x))}{f(x)}\right) \left(\lim_{x\to\pi} \frac{f(x)}{x-\pi}\right) \left(\lim_{x\to\pi}\cos(f(x))\right) \\\\ = 2 \times 1 \times c \times 1 = \boxed{2c}[/tex]
