Find the limit as x approaches 0 for θ^2/(1-cosθ)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hi friend, respect to theta, right? because it no reason to take limit of a function of theta when x approaches to 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if i am right, you have l'hopital rule for this (since its form is 0/0 ). take derivative both numerator and denominator and then take limit of that result

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so that would be 2theta/costheta ......which would be 0/1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cause the answer is 2....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey, the denominator is (1-cos(theta)' = sin(theta) . and then you still have 0/0 take derivative again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh got it thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks god

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait....actually haha so i got 2theta/costheta ....i just assumed that cancels to 2...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second derivative of 2 theta =2, that time the denominator =cos theta, when theta=0 , cos theta =1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your right my mistake!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos(0)=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. have fun
