Question 38

MediumOriginal question

f(x)=sin⁡5x2xf(x) = \frac{\sin 5x}{2x} for x≠0x \ne 0, and f(0)=kf(0) = k. For which kk is ff continuous at x=0x = 0?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. sin⁡5x2x=52⋅sin⁡5x5x\frac{\sin 5x}{2x} = \frac{5}{2} \cdot \frac{\sin 5x}{5x}.

  2. As x→0x \to 0, sin⁡5x5x→1\frac{\sin 5x}{5x} \to 1, so the limit is 52\frac{5}{2}.

Worth noting

25\frac{2}{5} turns the fraction upside down.
