Answer

$\dfrac{5}{2}$

Work Step by Step

Consider: $\lim\limits_{t \to 0}f(t)=\lim\limits_{t \to 0}\dfrac{\sin (5t)}{2t}$ Now, $f(0)=\dfrac{\sin 5(0)}{2(0)}=\dfrac{0}{0}$ The limit shows an indeterminate form. Thus, apply L-Hospital's rule: $\lim\limits_{a \to b}f(x)=\lim\limits_{a \to b}\dfrac{g'(x)}{h'(x)}$ Thus: $\lim\limits_{t \to 0}\dfrac{(5) \cos 5t}{2}= \lim\limits_{t \to 0}\dfrac{ 5 \cos 0}{2}=\dfrac{5}{2}$
