Limit Question.

OpenStudy (hba):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ \sin2x }{ \sin3x }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2/3

OpenStudy (hba):

Please Explain :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one min

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since you have indeterminate form, you have to use L'hospital rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then when you do derivative you get \[\frac{ 2\cos2x }{ 3\cos3x }\]

OpenStudy (hba):

I dont know l hospitals rule.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you don't?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you know like squeeze theorem?

OpenStudy (hba):

Please teach me how to solve it,i am helpless :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oki so there are couple cases when you have indeterminate form, for example 0/0 , inf/inf

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what you do then is basically take the derivative of the top and the bottom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for example \[\lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{ x^3+x^2=2x }{ x-1 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it suppose to be x^3+x^2-2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if you plug 1 in you get 0/0 which is indeterminate as it has no meaning. so you have to apply l'hospital, derivative of the top and bottom
