Find the limit as x approaches 0. 1-cos3x/sin3x.
use l'hospitals
what is that?
It's a rule in which you differentiate the numerator and denominator to simplify a limit when the fraction is in the form of \(0 \over 0\) or \(\infty\over \infty\)
how do you use that rule in this problem?
You will keep differentiating the numerator and denominator till you stop getting \(0 \over 0\) or \(\infty \over \infty\).
I haven't learned what differentiating is
I may be breaking some math laws here but what it you divide both the top and bottom by 3x: \[\large \frac{\frac{1-cos3x}{3x}}{\frac{sin3x}{3x}}\] Then use the special limits for sine and cosine
lets do it other way then, |dw:1346993034214:dw| now just put x=0,and evaluate, did u get that? can u solve further?
