The correct Answer is:
To evaluate the limit \[ \lim_{\theta \to 0} \frac{\sin(5\theta) - \sin(3\theta)}{\sin(\theta)}, \] we start by substituting \(\theta = 0\): 1. **Substitution**: \[ \frac{\sin(5 \cdot 0) - \sin(3 \cdot 0)}{\sin(0)} = \frac{0 - 0}{0} = \frac{0}{0}. \] This is an indeterminate form \(0/0\), so we need to manipulate the expression. 2. **Rewrite the limit**: We can rewrite the limit as: \[ \lim_{\theta \to 0} \left( \frac{\sin(5\theta)}{\sin(\theta)} - \frac{\sin(3\theta)}{\sin(\theta)} \right). \] 3. **Separate the limits**: This can be separated into two limits: \[ \lim_{\theta \to 0} \frac{\sin(5\theta)}{\sin(\theta)} - \lim_{\theta \to 0} \frac{\sin(3\theta)}{\sin(\theta)}. \] 4. **Use the limit property**: We know that: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin(kx)}{kx} = 1 \quad \text{for any constant } k. \] Therefore, we can express the limits as: \[ \lim_{\theta \to 0} \frac{\sin(5\theta)}{\sin(\theta)} = \lim_{\theta \to 0} \frac{\sin(5\theta)}{5\theta} \cdot \frac{5\theta}{\sin(\theta)} = 5 \cdot 1 = 5, \] and \[ \lim_{\theta \to 0} \frac{\sin(3\theta)}{\sin(\theta)} = \lim_{\theta \to 0} \frac{\sin(3\theta)}{3\theta} \cdot \frac{3\theta}{\sin(\theta)} = 3 \cdot 1 = 3. \] 5. **Combine the results**: Now substituting back into our separated limits: \[ 5 - 3 = 2. \] Thus, the limit evaluates to: \[ \boxed{2}. \]
