Consider the limit of the function $f(x) = \frac{\sin(ax)}{\tan(bx)}$ as $x \to 0$. If the course "The Complete Calculus for Competitive Exams Course 2026: From Zero to Expert!" aims to provide a robust understanding of indeterminate forms, what is the value of this limit, assuming $a$ and $b$ are non-zero constants?
$\frac{a^2}{b^2}$
$ab$
$\frac{b}{a}$
$\frac{a}{b}$

In the context of "The Complete Calculus for Competitive Exams Course 2026: From Zero to Expert!", a key concept is the application of derivatives to analyze function behavior. If a function $f(x)$ has a critical point at $x=c$, which of the following statements is *always* true?
$f'(c) = 0$
$f''(
$f'(c)$ does not exist
> 0$ C) $f(x)$ has a local minimum at $x=c$

asks what is *always* true for a critical point. The definition encompasses both possibilities. If the question implies a critical point *where the derivative exists*, then A would be the only correct answer. Given the wording, and the typical understanding in calculus courses, a critical point is *defined* by these conditions. Let's re-evaluate the question's intent. The common definition includes both cases. If the question meant to ask about a *stationary point*, then A would be exclusively true. However, the term "critical point" is broader. Let's assume the question implies the *most general* definition. In this case, a critical point is where $f'(c)=0$ OR $f'(c)$ is undefined. The question asks what is *always* true. This implies a condition that holds for *all* critical points. If $f'(c)$ is undefined, then A is false. If $f'(c)=0$, then D is false. This suggests a possible ambiguity in the question's phrasing. Let's assume the question is designed to test the *primary* characteristic often associated with critical points in introductory calculus, which is the zero derivative. However, a more rigorous definition includes points where the derivative is undefined. If the course emphasizes precision, the question is problematic as stated. For the purpose of generating a question from the course, let's interpret "critical point" in the most common competitive exam context, which often focuses on $f'(c)=0$ or $f'(c)$ undefined. Revisiting the options:
$f''(
> 0$: This indicates a local minimum, but only if $f'(c)=0$ and the second derivative test applies. It's not always true for all critical points. C) $f(x)$ has a local minimum at $x=c$: This is a consequence of the first or second derivative tests, not a definition of a critical point.
$f'(c) = 0$: This is true for stationary points, a subset of critical points.
$f'(c)$ does not exist: This is also a condition for a critical point, alongside $f'(c)=0$. The question asks what is *always* true. Neither A nor D is *always* true if the other is the defining condition. This implies the question might be flawed or testing a nuanced understanding. If we interpret "critical point" as encompassing both scenarios, then there isn't a single statement that is *always* true among the options provided, unless the question is poorly phrased and intends to ask for *a* condition that defines a critical point. Let's re-frame the question for clarity and to fit the "specialist" difficulty, focusing on the implications. **Revised Question:** Question: Within the framework of analyzing extrema as taught in "The Complete Calculus for Competitive Exams Course 2026: From Zero to Expert!", if $x=c$ is a critical point of a differentiable function $f(x)$, what is the *necessary* condition for $f(x)$ to have a local extremum at $x=c$? A) $f'(c) = 0$ B) $f'(c)$ does not exist C) The sign of $f'(x)$ changes at $x=c$ D) $f''(c) \neq 0$
