Answer

$$ \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} ( \sin 5 x \csc 3 x ) = \frac{5}{3} $$

Work Step by Step

$$ \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} (\sin 5 x \csc 3 x) $$ We can deal with it by writing the product $ \sin 5 x \csc 3 x $ as a quotient $ \frac{\sin 5 x}{\sin 3 x} $. Since $$ \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} ( \sin 5 x)=0 $$ and $$ \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} ( \sin 3 x)=0 $$ So, we find that, this convert the given limit into an indeterminate form of type $\frac{0}{0}$ and we can apply l’Hospital’s Rule: $$ \begin{aligned} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \sin 5 x \csc 3 x & =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin 5 x}{\sin 3 x} \\ & \stackrel{\mathrm{H}}{=} \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{5 \cos 5 x}{3 \cos 3 x} \\ & =\frac{5 \cdot 1}{3 \cdot 1} \\ &=\frac{5}{3} \end{aligned} $$
