What is the value for $\lim \limits _{x\to\infty} \frac{\sin x} x$?
I solved it by expanding $\sin x$ as
$$\sin x = x - \frac {x^3} {3!} \dotsc$$
So $\lim \limits _{x\to\infty} \frac {\sin x} x = 1 -\infty = - \infty$,
but the answer is $0$. Why? What I am doing wrong?
Answer
Yes , the answer is $0$ .
One way to see this is by using the inequality :
$$\left |\frac{\sin x}{x}\right | \leq \frac{1}{x}$$ when $x>0$ (this happens because $|\sin x\ | \leq 1$ )
When $x \to \infty $ we have $\frac{1}{x} \to 0$ so the limit must be $0$ .
