I'll do the first one to get you started.


As x approaches 0, the quantity |x| approaches 0. Have a look at the graph of y = |x| if you aren't sure. Or look at a table of function values.


Specifically, |x| is approaching 0 from the right. It is never negative which means it can never approach 0 from the left.


So sin(|x|) approaches sin(0) which approaches 0 itself. Because sin(x) is positive for small values of x such that x > 0, this means that sin(|x|) is approaching 0 from the right.


-------------------------------------------------------


So far, we know that if x gets closer and closer to 0, then sin(|x|) gets closer and closer to 0 from the right.


Therefore, Ln(sin(|x|)) becomes Ln(y) where y approaches 0 from the right. Ln(y) is undefined when y = 0, but we can plug in very very small values of y to find that Ln(y) is approaching negative infinity. A table or graph will show this.


-------------------------------------------------------


In the end,
