13. lim(x → 1⁻)arcsin(x)

검증된 단계별 안내

Identify the function and the limit point: We want to find the limit of \(\arcsin(x)\) as \(x\) approaches 1 from the left, which is written as \(\lim_{x \to 1^-} \arcsin(x)\).

Recall the domain and range of the \(\arcsin\) function: The function \(\arcsin(x)\) is defined for \(x\) in the interval \([-1, 1]\), and its range is \([-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}]\).

Understand the behavior near the limit point: Since \(x\) approaches 1 from values less than 1, we are approaching the right endpoint of the domain of \(\arcsin(x)\) from inside the domain.

Use the continuity of \(\arcsin(x)\) on its domain: The \(\arcsin\) function is continuous on \([-1, 1]\), so the limit as \(x\) approaches 1 from the left is simply \(\arcsin(1)\).

Evaluate \(\arcsin(1)\): Recall that \(\arcsin(1)\) is the angle whose sine is 1, which corresponds to \(\frac{\pi}{2}\).

Limit of a Function

The limit of a function describes the value that the function approaches as the input approaches a specific point. It helps understand the behavior of functions near points where they may not be explicitly defined. In this problem, we consider the limit as x approaches 1 from the left.

One-Sided Limits

One-sided limits examine the behavior of a function as the input approaches a point from only one side—either from the left (denoted x → a⁻) or the right (x → a⁺). This is important when the function behaves differently on either side of the point, as in the limit from the left of x approaching 1.

Arcsine Function Properties

The arcsine function, denoted arcsin(x), is the inverse of the sine function restricted to [-π/2, π/2]. It is continuous and defined for x in [-1, 1], with arcsin(1) = π/2. Understanding its domain and continuity helps evaluate limits involving arcsin near boundary points.
