lim x 0 sin 5 x 2 x = 5 2 . lim 5 x 0 sin 5 x 5 x = 5 2 \lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin5x}{2x}=\frac52.\lim_{5x\to0}\frac{\sin5x}{5x}=\frac52

lim x 0 s i n ( 5 x ) 2 x = 5 2 lim x 0 s i n ( 5 x ) 5 x \lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\frac{sin(5x)}{2x}=\frac{5}{2}\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\frac{sin(5x)}{5x}

Let y = 5 x y=5x

5 2 lim x 0 s i n ( 5 x ) 5 x = 5 2 lim y 0 s i n ( y ) y = 5 2 1 = 5 2 \therefore \frac{5}{2}\lim_{x\rightarrow0 }\frac{sin(5x)}{5x}=\frac{5}{2}\lim_{y\rightarrow0}\frac{sin(y)}{y}=\frac{5}{2}\cdot 1=\boxed{\frac{5}{2}}

Using L'hopitals it comes out easily.

Let f ( x ) = sin 5 x f(x) = \sin 5x , then lim x 0 sin 5 x 2 x = lim δ x 0 1 2 × sin ( 5 ( 0 ) + δ x ) 0 + δ x = f ( 0 ) = 5 2 cos 0 = 2.5 \displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0} \dfrac{\sin 5x}{2x} = \lim_{\delta x \to 0} \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{\sin (5(0) + \delta x)}{0+\delta x} = f'(0) = \dfrac{5}{2}\cos 0 = \boxed{2.5}

l i m x 0 sin 5 x 2 x = l i m x 0 d d x sin 5 x 2 d x d x = l i m x 0 5 cos 5 x 2 = 5 cos 0 2 = 5 2 lim_{x\rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin{5x}}{2x} = lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\frac{\frac{d}{dx}\sin{5x}}{2\frac{dx}{dx}}=lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\frac{5\cos{5x}}{2}=\frac{5\cos{0}}{2}=\frac{5}{2} Please somebody tell me how to write the limits better:'(

Limit Sin5x/2x=sin(3x+2x)/2x X tends to 0 = Limit Sin3xcos2x/3+cos3xsin2x/3 X tends to 0 Multiplying 3x in numerator and denominator in the first part we get = Limit Sin3xcos2x 3x / 3x 2 + cos3xsin2x/2x X tends to 0 As x tends to zero Sin3x/3x=1 sin2x/2x=1 Therefore = 1 1 3/2 +1 =5/2 =2.5

Wrong solution. You didn't split the terms right.
