calculus - To evaluate the limit as h approaches 0, how do I rewrite the limit in terms of theta?



I found a Question from the textbook which is not well explained...or not at all explained. And it would be interesting to know how to solve it. Or perhaps I am simply that bad at understanding squeeze theorem.





  1. If you want to evaluate limh0sin5h3h, it is a good idea to rewrite the
    limit in terms of the variable (choose one):



 (a) θ=5h (b) θ=3h (c) θ=5h3



Basically: for the limit as h approaches 0, in the equation: sin(5h/3h), how should you rewrite the limit in terms of the variable theta?




For clarity's sake, I don't care much for the answer itself. It's a "completion" grade anyway. I am, however, interested in what logic goes into determining how you rewrite the limit.


Answer



The logic behind is that limx0sinxx=1 is known.



So, one would like to transform the expression to contain this limit which excludes the "problem with the sine".



Hence, θ=5h would be a good choice.



Now, you will see how this transforms the limit in a nice way:




sin5h3h=sinθ3θ5=53sinθθθto053
