find the limit algebraically (attached)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ x \csc x+1 }{ x \csc x }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the way im doing it everything just cancels out -.- but im supposed to get 2 somehow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rewrite in terms of sine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{x\csc(x)+1}{x\csc(x)}=\frac{\frac{x}{\sin(x)}+1}{\frac{x}{\sin(x)}}\] \[=\frac{\frac{x+\sin(x)}{\sin(x)}}{\frac{x}{\sin(x)}}\] \[=\frac{x+\sin(x)}{\sin(x)}\times \frac{\sin(x)}{x}\] \[=\frac{x+\sin(x)}{x}=1+\frac{\sin(x)}{x}\]

hero (hero):

simplify it first by doing this: \[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ x \csc x }{ x \csc x } + \frac{1}{x cscx}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then take the limit, knowing tha t \[\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\sin(x)}{x}=1\] and you get \(1+1=2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually @Hero method a lot shorter

hero (hero):

Yeah, I'm all about shorter methods

hero (hero):

and alternative methods too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks to both of you! haha i understand (:
