lim x tends to θ[sinθ-θ]/[θ-tanθ]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jah, can u solve?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow \theta}(\sin (\theta)-\theta)/(\theta \tan (\theta))\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jah, can u solve?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

denominator theta -(minus) tan theta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jah, can u solve?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and sorry theta tends to 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jah, can u solve?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok that makes more sense. ill try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

math - did u get an answer to the integration problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i've solved it now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jah, can u solve?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can tell me ur ans plz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 1/2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jah wat r the steps?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimmy wat was the ans to e previous qn?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have u learned l'hopital's rule are u supposed to figure it out without it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh - its ok i misinterpreted the question - i integrated x / (x^2 -1 )^2 - i've just looked at the previous post.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i ve learned l'hopital's rule. then how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

steps..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then by using l'hopitals rule u take the derivative of the numerator seperately from the denominator so: \[(\sin(\theta)-\theta)/(\theta-\tan(\theta))\] becomes \[(\cos(\theta)-1)/(1-\sec^2(\theta))\] then u have to do it again so it becomes \[(-\sin(\theta))/(-2\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta))=(\sin(\theta))/(2\sec(\theta)\tan(\theta)\] and then 1 more time so its solvable: \[(\cos(\theta))/(2(\sec(\theta)\tan^2(\theta)+\sec^3(\theta)))\] now u can input the 0 for theta and solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sec^3 theta sub 0 is 1 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos(0)=1 sec(0)=1 tan(0)=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that means tan0=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how to get 1/2 as ans

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tan(x)=sin(x)/cos(x) sin(0)=0 cos(0)=1 tan(0)=0/1=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pls leave ur steps, i'm signing out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(\cos(0))/(2(\sec(0)\tan^2(0)+\sec^3(0))\] cos(0)=1 sec(0)=1 sec^3(0)=1^3=1 tan(0)=0 tan^2(0)=0^2=0 so its: (1)/(2(1*0+1))= 1/(2(0+1))= 1/(2(1))= 1/2
