The squeeze theorem
Problem 1.814 · medium
Use the squeeze theorem to find \( \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\sin{\left(2 n \right)}}{n} \).
- Since −1 ≤ sin(·) ≤ 1, the expression lies between -1/n and 1/n.Reviewed
- \[ \lim_{n \to \infty}\left(- \frac{1}{n}\right) = 0 \]The lower bound's limit.✓ Proved
- \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n} = 0 \]The upper bound's limit, the same.✓ Proved
- Both bounds tend to the same value, so the expression trapped between them does too.Reviewed

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate
method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence,
not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by
generator:structured/squeeze_theorem, checked 2026-11-08 with SymPy 1.14.0.
