Finding a limit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No L'Hopital \[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{ arcsin(x) }{2tan(x) }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{ x\cos(x)*\arcsin(x) }{ 2x\sin(x) }\] \[x=\sin(t)\] \[t=\arcsin(x)\] \[t \rightarrow 0 , x \rightarrow 0\] Can I do something like this? \[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{ x\cos(x)*\arcsin(x) }{ 2x\sin(x) }=\frac{ 1 }{ 2} \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ \cos(x) *x }{ \sin(x) }*\lim_{t \rightarrow 0}\frac{ t }{ \sin(t) }=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }*1*1*1=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]

hartnn (hartnn):

how did u get an extra x ?

hartnn (hartnn):

in the numerator...

hartnn (hartnn):

if its already present, then its very easy, no need to substitute anything...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I multiplied numerator and denominator by x

hartnn (hartnn):

ohh...

hartnn (hartnn):

so your limit reduces to arcsin x / 2x because denominator 2tanx/ x will be 2

hartnn (hartnn):

now you can put x = sin theta if u want.

hartnn (hartnn):

getting that ^ ?

hartnn (hartnn):

oh, u did the same thing....and its correct...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, thanks for checking my work then, I guess lol

hartnn (hartnn):

hmm....welcome ^_^
