limit as x approaches 0 of (sin(5x))/(6x)

x \to 0 lim (\frac{sin ( 5 x )}{6 x})

\frac{5}{6}

Decimal

0.83333 \dots

Solution steps

x \to 0 lim (\frac{sin ( 5 x )}{6 x})

x \to a lim [c \cdot f (x)] = c \cdot x \to a lim f (x)

= \frac{1}{6} \cdot x \to 0 lim (\frac{sin ( 5 x )}{x})

Apply L'Hopital's Rule

= \frac{1}{6} \cdot x \to 0 lim (\frac{cos ( 5 x ) \cdot 5}{1})

Plug in the value

x = 0

= \frac{1}{6} \cdot \frac{cos ( 5 \cdot 0 ) \cdot 5}{1}

Simplify

\frac{1}{6} \cdot \frac{cos ( 5 \cdot 0 ) \cdot 5}{1} : \frac{5}{6}

= \frac{5}{6}
