Trig limits help?

OpenStudy (3psilon):

\[\lim_{\theta \rightarrow \frac{ 7\pi }{ 6 }} \frac{ \sin \theta }{ 6 \theta } \]

OpenStudy (3psilon):

It's been a long time since precal. Can somebody refresh me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

teta --> ? i dont see very well

OpenStudy (3psilon):

7pi /6 @tanjung

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can simply plug in \(\theta=\frac{7\pi}{6}\)

OpenStudy (3psilon):

But I'm getting 3/7pi and the book is getting -1/14pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's \(-\frac{1}{14}\) since: \[ \sin\frac{7\pi}{6}=-\sin\frac{\pi}{6}=-\frac{1}{2} \]Thus: \[ 6\left(\frac{7\pi}{6}\right)=7\pi \]And: \[ \frac{-\frac{1}{2}}{7\pi}=-\frac{1}{14\pi} \]

OpenStudy (3psilon):

So you do it as radians regardless it says theta?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\theta\) just means "angle".

OpenStudy (3psilon):

Yeah I just caught my mistake -_- that was the last question of the day @LolWolf won't bother you anymore. Thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's cool, and bother me? That's what I'm here for, haha... and no problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin 7pi/6 = sin 210 degree = -1/2 6(7pi/6) = 7pi if u divided both, get the anwer is (-1/2)/7pi = -1/14pi

OpenStudy (3psilon):

Thanks @tanjung I got it now! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup..wellcome :)
