The correct Answer is:
To evaluate the limit \( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin^2(5x)}{\sin(15x)} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the limit We start with the limit expression: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin^2(5x)}{\sin(15x)} \] ### Step 2: Use the small angle approximation As \( x \) approaches 0, we can use the fact that \( \sin(kx) \approx kx \) for small values of \( x \). Therefore, we can rewrite the sine functions: \[ \sin(5x) \approx 5x \quad \text{and} \quad \sin(15x) \approx 15x \] ### Step 3: Substitute the approximations Substituting these approximations into the limit gives: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{(5x)^2}{15x} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the expression Now simplify the expression: \[ = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{25x^2}{15x} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{25}{15} x = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{5}{3} x \] ### Step 5: Evaluate the limit As \( x \) approaches 0, the expression \( \frac{5}{3} x \) approaches: \[ \frac{5}{3} \cdot 0 = 0 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the limit is: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin^2(5x)}{\sin(15x)} = 0 \] ---
