Answer:

0

Explanation:

Given the expression


\lim_(x \to \ 0) (sin^2x)/(x)

Substitute the value of x in the function


= (sin ^2(0))/(0)\\= 0/0 (indeterminate) \\

Apply l'hospital rule


\lim_(x \to \ 0) (d/dx(sin^2x))/(d/dx(x)) \\= \lim_(x \to \ 0) ((2sinxcosx))/(1) \\

Substitute the value of x

= 2 sin(0)cos(0)

= 2 * 0 * 1

= 0

Hence the limit of the function is 0
