Evaluate the following limits. $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}}(\sin x) \sqrt{\frac{1-x}{x}}$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
Expression: \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}}(\sin x) \left(\frac{1-x}{x}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\) Answer: The limit of the expression as x approaches 0 from the positive side is 0.

Step by step solution

01

Rewrite the expression

It's more convenient to rewrite the expressions with a fractional exponent: $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}}(\sin x) \left(\frac{1-x}{x}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$$
02

Evaluate the limit of the sine function

Since sine function is continuous at x = 0 and \(\sin(0) = 0\), we have: $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}}\sin x = 0$$
03

Rewrite the second part as a single fraction and apply L'Hôpital's rule

As L'Hôpital's rule works for tending to infinity, let's rewrite \(u=\frac{x}{1-x}\). So when \(x\to 0^{+}\), \(u \to 0^{+}\). Along with converting to \(u\), we cleanup and apply L'Hôpital's rule to find the limit: $$\lim_{x\to0^{+}} \left(\frac{1-x}{x}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}} = \lim_{u\to0^{+}} (u)^{\frac{1}{2}} = \lim_{u\to0^{+}} \dfrac{1}{\left(\frac{2}{u^{\frac{-1}{2}}}\right)}$$ By applying L'Hôpital's rule, we obtain: $$\lim_{u\to0^{+}} \dfrac{1}{\left(\frac{2}{u^{\frac{-1}{2}}}\right)} = \lim_{u\to0^{+}} \dfrac{u^{\frac{1}{2}}}{2}$$
04

Evaluate the limit of the second part

By plugging \(u = 0\) into the expression, we get: $$\lim_{u\to0^{+}} \dfrac{u^{\frac{1}{2}}}{2} = \dfrac{0^{\frac{1}{2}}}{2} = 0$$
05

Combine the limits

Since both parts of the expression have limits that equal to 0, the limit of the entire expression is: $$\lim_{x\rightarrow 0^{+}}(\sin x) \left(\frac{1-x}{x}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}} = 0 \cdot 0 = 0$$

Find the function \(F\) that satisfies the following differential equations and initial conditions. $$F^{\prime \prime}(x)=1, F^{\prime}(0)=3, F(0)=4$$

Differentials Consider the following functions and express the relationship between a small change in \(x\) and the corresponding change in \(y\) in the form \(d y=f^{\prime}(x) d x\) $$f(x)=\tan x$$

Economists use demand functions to describe how much of a commodity can be sold at varying prices. For example, the demand function \(D(p)=500-10 p\) says that at a price of \(p=10,\) a quantity of \(D(10)=400\) units of the commodity can be sold. The elasticity \(E=\frac{d D}{d p} \frac{p}{D}\) of the demand gives the approximate percent change in the demand for every \(1 \%\) change in the price. a. Compute the elasticity of the demand function \(D(p)=500-10 p\) b. If the price is \(\$ 12\) and increases by \(4.5 \%,\) what is the approximate percent change in the demand? c. Show that for the linear demand function \(D(p)=a-b p\) where \(a\) and \(b\) are positive real numbers, the elasticity is a decreasing function, for \(p \geq 0\) and \(p \neq a / b\) d. Show that the demand function \(D(p)=a / p^{b}\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are positive real numbers, has a constant elasticity for all positive prices.
