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?

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

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
