Given to solve ,
`lim_(x->oo) cosx/x`
by applying the squeeze theorem we can solve the limits
and it is as follows,
as we know the boundaries of the `cos(x)` as
`-1<=cos(x)<=1`
now dividing the above expression with `x` , we get
`-1/x<=cos(x)/x<=1/x`
now applying the limits of x-> oo for the above expression, we get
`lim_(x->oo) (-1/x)<=lim_(x->oo) cos(x)/x<=lim_(x->oo) (1/x)`
now upon `x-> oo` we get
`lim_(x->oo) (-1/x) =(-1/oo) =0`
and
`lim_(x->oo) (1/x) = (1/oo)=0`
so,
`lim_(x->oo) (-1/x)<=lim_(x->oo) cos(x)/x<=lim_(x->oo) (1/x)`
=>`0<=lim_(x->oo) cos(x)/x<=0`
=>`lim_(x->oo) cos(x)/x =0`
