lim sin(x)/x is 1
write the bottom 8t as 8/9 * 9t (which is still 8t)
that turns the problem into
9/8 * sin(9t)/(9t)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i gont got it
OpenStudy (phi):
?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
dont
OpenStudy (phi):
do you know
lim x->0 sin(x)/x = 1
?

i know
OpenStudy (phi):
lim t->0 sin(9t)/(9t)
is the same problem... let x = 9t
as t->0 9t->0 which means x-> 0
and we have the problem
lim x->0 sin(x)/x
which we know is 1
does that part make sense?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (phi):
next what is the limit of
lim x->0 (9/8) sin(x)/x ?
we can factor the 9/8 out and do
(9/8) lim x->0 sin(x)/x
which is
9/8 * 1 = 9/8
does that make sense ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes

we can re-write
(9/8) sin(x)/x
as
sin(x) / (8x/9)
agreed ?
OpenStudy (phi):
multiply top and bottom by 8/9 to change
(9/8) sin(x)/x into sin(x) / (8x/9)

Here it is in a bigger font

now if we replace x with x= 9t
this becomes (see attached)
OpenStudy (phi):
The idea is to change the original problem into a sin(x)/x because we know how to find the limit of that.
