The correct Answer is:
To find the limit of the function \( f(x) \) as \( x \) approaches 0, we analyze the function defined as follows: \[ f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{\sin([\!x])}{[\!x]} & \text{if } [\!x] \neq 0 \\ 0 & \text{if } [\!x] = 0 \end{cases} \] where \([\!x]\) denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to \( x \). ### Step 1: Analyze the limit from the right (\( x \to 0^+ \)) When \( x \) approaches \( 0 \) from the right (i.e., \( x \to 0^+ \)), the greatest integer function \([\!x]\) will be \( 0 \). Therefore, we can substitute this into the function: \[ f(x) = 0 \quad \text{for } [\!x] = 0 \] Thus, \[ \lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x) = 0 \] ### Step 2: Analyze the limit from the left (\( x \to 0^- \)) When \( x \) approaches \( 0 \) from the left (i.e., \( x \to 0^- \)), the greatest integer function \([\!x]\) will be \( -1 \) (since \( x \) is slightly less than 0). Therefore, we substitute this into the function: \[ f(x) = \frac{\sin(-1)}{-1} = \frac{-\sin(1)}{-1} = \sin(1) \] Thus, \[ \lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) = \sin(1) \] ### Step 3: Compare the two limits Now we have: \[ \lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x) = 0 \] \[ \lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) = \sin(1) \] Since \( 0 \) is not equal to \( \sin(1) \), the two one-sided limits are not equal. ### Conclusion Therefore, the limit \( \lim_{x \to 0} f(x) \) does not exist. \[ \text{Final Answer: } \lim_{x \to 0} f(x) \text{ does not exist.} \] ---
