Показать описание
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

I studied Calculus some 50 years ago during my high school years and later heavily used it during my college time. Since graduation, I had not used it and so I had almost forgotten how to prove it using limit theory. Recently I wanted to teach my son on Calculus. So, I watched your video and found your explanation very easily to understand. Thank you.

What software are you using to write and annotate the explanation?

2:23 For mnemonic purposes, I'm going to note that the area formula with *Sin* is the *Smallest, * while the one with *Tan is the Tallest.* 😅

But what if we will take the radius of the circle other than 1??

Can you use the squeeze theorem to prove that the limit as x approaches 0 of (cos(x) - 1)/x is 0?

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

I use hopital for the last problem. What are alternative approaches that we can use?

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 ?

Is there any proof for the order of areas?

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

Very nice, clear explanation, with simple, clear diagrams. Well done.

Nicely done! It's been nearly four decades, but I'm pretty sure this is how I learned it from Apostol. (The book, not the man; he'd retired from teaching freshmen the year before.)

I finally understand this concept after watching this clear explanation ! Thank you.

Making use of area to derive the inequality is circular reasoning.
