I was recently asked to find the limit of
lim
I eventually solved it by breaking the limit down to a composition of functions, but my first instinct was actually to invoke the Squeeze Theorem. My logic was that since
-1\leq \sin(x) \leq 1,
I can have \lim_{x\to\infty}-1 serve as the lower bound and \lim_{x\to\infty}1 serve as the upper bound to conclude that
\lim_{x\to\infty}-1=\lim_{x\to\infty}1=\lim_{x\to\infty}\sin(\frac{\pi x}{2-3x})=1.
Given that the second method I did yielded an answer of -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, I'm not sure where I went wrong in my implementation of the Squeeze Theorem. My suspicion is that a) I was wrong in thinking \frac{\pi x}{2-3x} would be akin to simply another x if both were entered into \sin(x), or b) I needed to break down the limit into compositions before invoking the Squeeze Theorem.
