Limits Evaluate the following limits using Taylor series.
lim ₓ→∞ x sin(1/x)

검증된 단계별 안내

Recognize that the limit involves the expression \(x \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\) as \(x\) approaches infinity, which suggests using the Taylor series expansion of \(\sin z\) around \(z=0\) where \(z = \frac{1}{x}\).
Recall the Taylor series expansion for \(\sin z\) around \(z=0\): \(\sin z = z - \frac{z^3}{3!} + \frac{z^5}{5!} - \cdots\)
Substitute \(z = \frac{1}{x}\) into the series: \(\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) = \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{6x^3} + \frac{1}{120x^5} - \cdots\)
Multiply the entire series by \(x\): \(x \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) = x \left( \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{6x^3} + \frac{1}{120x^5} - \cdots \right) = 1 - \frac{1}{6x^2} + \frac{1}{120x^4} - \cdots\)
Evaluate the limit as \(x \to \infty\) by observing that all terms with \(x\) in the denominator approach zero, so the limit is the constant term remaining in the expression.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Limits at Infinity

Limits at infinity describe the behavior of a function as the input grows without bound. Understanding how functions behave as x approaches infinity helps determine if the function approaches a finite value, infinity, or does not exist.

Taylor Series Expansion

A Taylor series represents a function as an infinite sum of terms calculated from its derivatives at a single point. It approximates functions near that point, allowing complex expressions like sin(1/x) to be expanded into simpler polynomial terms for limit evaluation.

Asymptotic Behavior of Functions

Asymptotic behavior studies how functions behave near specific points or at infinity. By analyzing dominant terms in expansions, one can simplify expressions like x sin(1/x) to find limits, focusing on leading terms that dictate the function's growth or decay.
