LIMITS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Limits are pretty cool, yeah.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What you want to know about limits?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} (x^2 + 2\cos x - 2)/(x \times \sin^3 x)\] how to evaluate this???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{x^2+2\cos x-2}{x\sin^3x}=\frac{x%^2}{x\sin^3x}+\frac{2\cos x}{x\sin^3x}-\frac{2}{x\sin^3x}\]Maybe this helps?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also, remember the liberal application of l'Hopital's rule:\[\left\{\lim\frac{f\left(x\right)}{g\left(x\right)}\mid\lim f\left(x\right)=\lim g\left(x\right)=0,\pm\infty\right\}\iff\lim\frac{f\left(x\right)}{g\left(x\right)}=\lim\frac{f'\left(x\right)}{g'\left(x\right)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if i apply L-hospital the denominator repeatedly comes as zero, just see??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{2}{x\sin^3x}=\frac{2x^{-1}}{\sin^3 x}\]Remember this as well.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also, \[\lim f\cdot g=\lim f\cdot\lim g\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, I think you can solve it with this info.

OpenStudy (zarkon):

power series method works nice.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats that???

OpenStudy (zarkon):

Have you done the taylor series?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no!!!

OpenStudy (zarkon):

ok..then ignore what I typed above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but please help???

OpenStudy (zarkon):

just use l'hospitals rule then

OpenStudy (zarkon):

you will have to do it several times

OpenStudy (anonymous):

using l hospitals rule,twice,the denominator becomes very nasty!!! please tell me about the taylor series...

OpenStudy (zarkon):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you apply it here???
