To find the equation of the normal line at a given point, we need to determine the slope of the tangent line at that point and then find the negative reciprocal of that slope to obtain the slope of the normal line.
First, we find the derivative of the function f(x) using the product rule and chain rule:
f'(x) = 3ln(sin(2/x)) + 3x * (1/sin(2/x)) * (cos(2/x)) * (-2/x^2)
Next, we substitute x = pi/8 into the derivative to find the slope of the tangent line at x = pi/8:
f'(pi/8) = 3ln(sin(2/(pi/8))) + 3(pi/8) * (1/sin(2/(pi/8))) * (cos(2/(pi/8))) * (-2/(pi/8)^2)
After calculating the value of f'(pi/8), we can find the negative reciprocal of this slope to obtain the slope of the normal line.
Finally, using the point-slope form of a line, we can write the equation of the normal line passing through the point (pi/8, f(pi/8)) with the calculated slope.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
