Find lim x ln(sin(x)) =??

[on hold]
x0+

I'm wondering how to solve the limit

lim x ln(sin(x))
x0+

using the standard limit

lim x ln(x)
x0+

(calculus) (real-analysis) (limits)

x
lim x ln(sin(x)) = lim sin x ln(sin(x))
x0+ x0+ sin x
x
= lim lim sin x ln(sin(x))
x0+ sin x x0+

x
= lim lim h ln(h) = 0
x0+ sin x h0+

With h = sin x

Given that,

sin x
lim = 1
x0+ x

and

lim h ln(h) = 0
h0+

By pulling x/ sin x out and by the change of variable y := sin x,

x
lim x ln(sin(x)) = lim lim sin x ln(sin(x)) = lim y ln(y).
x0+ x0+ sin(x) x0+ y0+

Consider the trickery:

sin x
x log(x( )) =
x

sin x
x(log(x) + log( )).
x

Helps?

Since, lim x
x
= 1, we obtain:
+
x0

x
sin x
lim x ln sin x = lim ( ln(sin x) ) = 1 0 = 0.
x0
+
x0
+
sin x

can you tell me can i do it this way? we have ln y < y So x ln sin x < x(sin x) < x. x 0 and so
given limit tends to zero. My doubt is can i freely use these inequalities:-log x < x; sin x < x; sometimes i
have seen sinx < 1 anirudh b 12 hours ago

If i take f (x) = ln x x, f (x) = (1/x) 1 < 0 means x > 1. But here as we are checking limit in
neighborhood of 0, i can'nt use this inequality right???? anirudh b 12 hours ago
x
@anirudh b I used x ln sin x =
sin x
ln(sin x)
sin x
. See please my solution. Michael Rozenberg 12
