  • We prove the limit of sinx/x as x goes to 0 equals 1 using the squeeze theorem and a geometric argument involving sectors and triangles on the unit circle. #calculus1 #apcalculus

    How do you prove that the tan area is larger than the sector area? Since the sector is curved?

    • @lautamn9096
      @lautamn9096 Před 9 měsíci +1

      Because tan area is containing sector area and also sector area doesnt fill the tan area. Thats why this theorem only works with theta approaching 0 i.e. very small angles

    =limit(2sin^2(x/2)/x,x=0)=limit(sin(x/2),x=0)*limit(sin(x/2)/(x/2),x=0)=0*1

  • @daringd2147
    @daringd2147 Před 4 měsíci

    Hey it's just a thought but we know sinx for very small values of x is similarly equal to x, right. Then the limit would be lim x-> 0 (x/x) . We can cancel out the x and get 1. Can this be a ideal solution though ?

    • @WrathofMath
      @WrathofMath  Před 4 měsíci

      I would say the fact that sinx is similar to x near 0 is proven by this limit, certainly not the other way around!

    • @PapaBavarian
      @PapaBavarian Před 5 měsíci

      Good question, and this part of the otherwise excellent proof here is guilty of 'hand waving.' But yes, the best way is to do a proof by contradiction. Just assume that the order of the areas are not as he states and you'll find contradictions which will prove that the area inequalities are valid!
