This example illustrates the trigonometric limits sin(t)/t and (1-cos(t))/t. The core mathematical concepts involved are the properties of trigonometric limits. Using GeoGebra commands such as Intersect, Circle, Point, Segment, OrthogonalLine, CircleSector, CircleArc, the geometric construction of these limits can be visually understood. Suitable for high school mathematics education, particularly in calculus and trigonometry.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Intersect(xAxis, yAxis) → A
  2. Circle(A, B) → c
  3. Point(c) → C
  4. Segment(A, C) → f
  5. OrthogonalLine(C, xAxis) → g
  6. Intersect(g, xAxis) → D
  7. Segment(C, D) → h
  8. Segment(C, B) → i
  9. Segment(D, C) → j
  10. CircleSector(A, B, C) → d
  11. CircleArc(A, B, C) → t

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a coordinate system, then draw a unit circle and find its intersection with the y-axis at point C, connect AC, draw a perpendicular line from C to the x-axis intersecting at D, connect CD, CD and CB, DC, and finally draw a sector and an arc with A, B, and C as vertices.
The prompt above was compiled from the original drawing commands and is for reference only.
