The identifiers for a Squeeze Theorem problem are far less concrete.
-
You are given a series of inequalities involving three equations describing how each equation is larger than the one before it (), and then conveniently you are asked something about the
limit
of the middle equation, , only. You generally do not discuss the relationship between three equations when you are looking to find a
limit
, unless you are going to apply the squeeze theorem.

You are given a series of inequalities involving three equations describing how each equation is larger than the one before it (). You are asked to compute the limit of the middle equation, , which is seemingly impossible, but just by chance finding the limits of the other two equations, and , is super easy.

You are being asked to find the limit of an equation involving
sine
or
cosine
that did not work out when you tried the earlier Trig Function Limit Options. It will be sine or cosine because those are a couple of equations that we
can
actually
find two equations they are between because
sine
and
cosine
are
always
between
y
=
1
and
y
=
-1
.

They specifically tell you to use the Squeeze Theorem to determine the limit.
