Does f(x) = sin1/x have a tangent line at x=0. Explain why or why not.
Hello IronDome!
Does f(x) = sin1/x have a tangent line at x=0. Explain why or why not.
You mean f(x) = sin (1/x) ?
f(x) = sin (1/x) = sin (x -1)
f'(x) = cos (1/x) * (- 1/x2)
There is no tangent. 1 / (x = 0) and (-1/(x=0)2) is not defined.
1/0 is not defined.
