   Q.Write value of $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0} \dfrac{\sin x}{x}$.

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0}\dfrac{\sin x}{x}=1$ is a standard limit, provable via the sandwich (squeeze) theorem using the unit circle.

   For small $x$ (in radians), geometric comparison of the areas of a triangle, a circular sector, and a larger triangle bounding the unit circle gives $\sin x < x < \tan x$ for $0<x<\tfrac{\pi}{2}$.

   Q.$\displaystyle\lim_{x \to 0}\left(\dfrac{\sin ax}{\sin bx}\right)$ is equal to

   (a) $\dfrac{b}{a}$

   (b) $\dfrac{a}{b}$

   (c) $\dfrac{-a}{b}$

   (d) $\dfrac{-b}{a}$

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   As $x\to0$, $\sin(ax)\approx ax$ and $\sin(bx)\approx bx$, so the ratio tends to $a/b$.

   $\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin ax}{\sin bx} = \lim_{x\to0}\frac{\dfrac{\sin ax}{ax}\cdot ax}{\dfrac{\sin bx}{bx}\cdot bx} = \lim_{x\to0}\frac{\dfrac{\sin ax}{ax}}{\dfrac{\sin bx}{bx}}\cdot\frac{a}{b}$

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Rewriting $3^{2x}=9^x$ and $2^{3x}=8^x$ and applying the standard limit $\lim_{x\to0}\frac{k^x-1}{x}=\log k$ to numerator and denominator gives $\dfrac{\log9}{\log8}$.

   $\lim_{x\to0}\frac{3^{2x}-1}{2^{3x}-1} = \lim_{x\to0}\frac{9^x-1}{8^x-1}$

   Divide numerator and denominator by $x$:

   $= \lim_{x\to0}\frac{\dfrac{9^x-1}{x}}{\dfrac{8^x-1}{x}}$

   Substitute $t = \pi - x$ to turn this into the standard limit $\lim_{t\to0} \dfrac{\sin t}{t} = 1$.

   Let $t = \pi - x$. As $x \to \pi$, $t \to 0$. Rewrite the limit:

   $\lim_{x\to\pi} \frac{\sin(\pi-x)}{\pi(\pi-x)} = \lim_{t\to0} \frac{\sin t}{\pi t} = \frac{1}{\pi}\lim_{t\to0}\frac{\sin t}{t}$

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   This is a standard limit result: $\lim_{x\to0}\frac{a^x-1}{x}=\ln a$ (natural log of $a$).

   Write $a^x = e^{x\ln a}$. Then

   $\dfrac{a^x-1}{x} = \dfrac{e^{x\ln a}-1}{x} = \ln a\cdot\dfrac{e^{x\ln a}-1}{x\ln a}$.

    The limit equals $\log\left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)$.

    Write the limit as a difference of two standard limits:

    $\lim_{x\to0}\dfrac{a^x-b^x}{x}=\lim_{x\to0}\dfrac{a^x-1}{x}-\lim_{x\to0}\dfrac{b^x-1}{x}=\log a-\log b=\log\left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right),$ …

    $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\dfrac{e^x-1}{x}=1$.

    Using the series expansion $e^x = 1+x+\dfrac{x^2}{2!}+\dfrac{x^3}{3!}+\cdots$, we get

    $e^x-1 = x+\dfrac{x^2}{2!}+\dfrac{x^3}{3!}+\cdots,$
