lim x-> infiniti tanhx

hartnn (hartnn):

how's tanh x defined ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} tanhx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ sinhx }{ coshx }\]

hartnn (hartnn):

in terms of powers of 'e' ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

hartnn (hartnn):

what will it be ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hun?

hartnn (hartnn):

ok, tanh x = [e^x-e^(-x)]/ [e^x+e^(-x)] right ? i meant that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly

hartnn (hartnn):

now, you can write e^x as 1/e^(-x) substitute this and simplify....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I didn't understand how u did that?

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\huge x^n= \dfrac{1}{x^{-n}}\)

hartnn (hartnn):

didn't you know that ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hehe nope

hartnn (hartnn):

now you know :) can you simplify ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u cancel out then right?

hartnn (hartnn):

do it and show me what you meant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought x^-1 = 1/x

hartnn (hartnn):

that is also true!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

arg I think I just confused myself nevermind

hartnn (hartnn):

what i asked you to do is, \(\huge \dfrac{1/e^{-x}-e^{-x}}{1/e^{-x}+e^{-x}}\) got this ? can you simplify this a bit ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so its -1/1 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg no nevermind

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1365227487974:dw| right for first half?
