Does the graph the following curve have a tangent at the
origin?
So the first thing we're going to realize is we're going to use
the formula limit is H goes to 0 of F of X + H -, F of X all over
H And because we want it at the origin, X is going to equal 0
here.
So we're going to have F We're going to have the limit as H
goes to 0 of F of 0 + H -, F of 0 all over H Looking at our
original conditions, AT0F of 0 is 0.
So this end piece is just going to be 00 plus H is H.
So this is really equivalent to limit as H goes to 0 of F of H /
H So now we're talking about limit as H goes to 0, not at 0
as we get closer and closer and closer.
So we're going to use that top equation and say H ^2 sine 1 / H
all over H1 of the HS will cancel.
So we get the limit as H goes to 0 of H times sine of 1 / H Well,
if we stick an H going to 0 here 0 times anything is 0.
Now sine.
Because of what it does, we know that the sine values are always
between one and -1, no matter what's inside.
So if I have zero times something that's in between -1
and one, that's going to give us out zero.
So yes, it exists because there is a tangent at that line.
Or the limit as H goes to 0 of F of X + H -, F of X all over H
exists.
