The correct Answer is:
To solve the limits given in the question, we will analyze the behavior of the function \(\frac{\tan x}{x}\) as \(x\) approaches \(0\) from the positive and negative sides. ### Step-by-Step Solution **(i) Calculate \(\lim_{x \to 0^+} \left(\frac{\tan x}{x}\right)\)** 1. **Understanding the limit**: We need to find the limit of \(\frac{\tan x}{x}\) as \(x\) approaches \(0\) from the right (positive side). 2. **Using the known limit**: We know from calculus that: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\tan x}{x} = 1 \] This limit holds true as \(x\) approaches \(0\) from either side. 3. **Behavior of \(\tan x\)**: As \(x\) approaches \(0\) from the positive side, \(\tan x\) is slightly greater than \(x\) (since \(\tan x > x\) for small positive \(x\)). Therefore, we can conclude: \[ \frac{\tan x}{x} > 1 \quad \text{(for small } x > 0\text{)} \] 4. **Conclusion for the limit**: Thus, as \(x\) approaches \(0^+\), \[ \frac{\tan x}{x} \to 1^+ \quad \text{(slightly greater than 1)} \] 5. **Applying the greatest integer function**: The greatest integer function \([\cdot]\) of a number slightly greater than \(1\) is: \[ \left[\lim_{x \to 0^+} \frac{\tan x}{x}\right] = [1^+] = 1 \] **Final Result for (i)**: \[ \lim_{x \to 0^+} \left[\frac{\tan x}{x}\right] = 1 \] --- **(ii) Calculate \(\lim_{x \to 0^-} \left(\frac{\tan x}{x}\right)\)** 1. **Understanding the limit**: We need to find the limit of \(\frac{\tan x}{x}\) as \(x\) approaches \(0\) from the left (negative side). 2. **Using the known limit**: Again, we use the fact that: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\tan x}{x} = 1 \] This limit is valid for \(x\) approaching \(0\) from both sides. 3. **Behavior of \(\tan x\)**: As \(x\) approaches \(0\) from the negative side, \(\tan x\) is also slightly greater than \(x\) (since \(\tan x > x\) for small negative \(x\)). Thus, we conclude: \[ \frac{\tan x}{x} > 1 \quad \text{(for small } x < 0\text{)} \] 4. **Conclusion for the limit**: Therefore, as \(x\) approaches \(0^-\), \[ \frac{\tan x}{x} \to 1^+ \quad \text{(slightly greater than 1)} \] 5. **Applying the greatest integer function**: The greatest integer function \([\cdot]\) of a number slightly greater than \(1\) is: \[ \left[\lim_{x \to 0^-} \frac{\tan x}{x}\right] = [1^+] = 1 \] **Final Result for (ii)**: \[ \lim_{x \to 0^-} \left[\frac{\tan x}{x}\right] = 1 \] --- ### Summary of Results Both limits yield the same result: \[ \lim_{x \to 0^+} \left[\frac{\tan x}{x}\right] = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad \lim_{x \to 0^-} \left[\frac{\tan x}{x}\right] = 1 \]
