Question!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Answer!!!

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Lol Wait!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't, lunch time!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What I lack in mathematical know-how I make up for in speedy typing.

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Find the points of discontinuity of f, where

OpenStudy (mr.math):

None!

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Show..

OpenStudy (mr.math):

The limit of f(x) as x approaches 0 from the right is the same as from the left, both are 1.

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

What is \[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac {\sin x }{x}\]

OpenStudy (mr.math):

\[\lim_{x\to 0^+}f(x)=\lim_{x\to 0^+}{\sin(x) \over x}=1=\lim_{x\to 0^-}f(x)=\lim_{x\to0^-}(x+1).\]

OpenStudy (mr.math):

It should be the opposite, I mean the - and +. Just a typo!

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

isn't \[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^+} f(x)=\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^+}(x+1) ?\]

OpenStudy (mr.math):

Yep! That's what I just said.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}{\sin x \over x}=1\]can be shown through L'hospitals rule, since you asked earlier.

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Oh :)

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

ThankYou Mr.Math & TuringTest :)

OpenStudy (mr.math):

I wonder why Diya has a medal and I don't! :P

OpenStudy (turingtest):

who needs 'em?

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Lol I'l definitely Give medals :) dw

OpenStudy (mr.math):

Lol, I don't! I'm just joking. It's worth wondering though :P

OpenStudy (mr.math):

This is the proof of the limit of sinx/x without using L'hopital's rule if you want: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve99biD1KtA

OpenStudy (turingtest):

yeah, that's the real way...

OpenStudy (turingtest):

one of them

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Thanks I'll watch it But is it the same for cos(x)/x ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good answer! I had to go back and find old notes on curve sketching because it's been a while and I couldn't remember the conditions of continuity ;) But nicely done.

OpenStudy (mr.math):

No, the limit of cosx/x as x goes to zero is infinity.

OpenStudy (mr.math):

Well \(\\pm \infty\) depends on which direction you're approaching from.

OpenStudy (mr.math):

\(\pm \infty\).

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Hm okay If you dont mind What about other Trigonometric Functions?

OpenStudy (mr.math):

You mean \(\frac{\tan(x)}{x}\) for example?

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Yes

OpenStudy (mr.math):

In the case of tanx/x, the limit is 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because sin x /cos x = tan x

OpenStudy (mr.math):

You can derive the rest from the above actually.

OpenStudy (mr.math):

Or you can always apply L'Hopita's Ruel.

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Lol Fine :) Thanks again!

OpenStudy (mr.math):

No problem!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why is diya thanking so many times ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's vacation and we don't have any better things to do :P

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Because i appreciate those people who helps me :)

OpenStudy (mr.math):

She has exams next year! :P

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Yes^^
