$lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin (x)}{5 x}$

Step 1

Move the term $\frac{1}{5}$ outside of the limit because it is constant with respect to $x$ .

$\frac{1}{5} lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin (x)}{x}$

Step 2

Since $\cos (x) \leq \frac{\sin (x)}{x} \leq 1$ and $lim_{x \to 0} \cos (x) = lim_{x \to 0} 1 = 1$ , apply the squeeze theorem.

$\frac{1}{5} \cdot 1$

Step 3

Multiply $\frac{1}{5}$ by $1$ .

$\frac{1}{5}$

Step 4

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$\frac{1}{5}$

Decimal Form:

$0.2$
