Answer

$$\lim_{t\to-\infty}e^{3t}\sin^{-1}\frac{1}{t}=0$$

Work Step by Step

$$A=\lim_{t\to-\infty}e^{3t}\sin^{-1}\frac{1}{t}$$ $$A=\lim_{t\to-\infty}e^{3t}\sin^{-1}\Big(\lim_{t\to-\infty}\frac{1}{t}\Big)$$ - As $t\to-\infty$, $3t$ also approaches $-\infty$. That $e^{3t}$ will approach $e^{-\infty}=\frac{1}{e^{\infty}}=\frac{1}{\infty}=0$ - As $t\to-\infty$, $1/t$ will approach $0$. Therefore, $$A=0\times\sin^{-1}0=0\times0=0$$
