Question:

$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{x + \sin x}{x + \cos x}$
(1) $0$
(2) $1$
(3) $\infty$
(4) does not exist

Step-by-Step Solution

Key Concept: Divide numerator and denominator by $x$: $\frac{1 + (\sin x)/x}{1 + (\cos x)/x}$. As $x \to \infty$, both $(\sin x)/x$ and $(\cos x)/x$ squeeze to 0 (bounded numerator, $x \to \infty$). Limit $= 1/1 = 1$.
