\[\lim_{t \rightarrow 0}\frac{ 4\sin (7t^5) }{ 2t }\]
Use L'Hopital's Rule to evaluate
do you even know what l hopital rule is?...
yes
so you're having trouble with the derivative?
yes
starting with the top, the derivative of \[4\sin(7t^5)\] we need to apply "chain rule" sound familiar?
yes, but I always mess it up with sin
ok we'll do it step by step chain rule , \[\frac{df}{dt} = \frac{df}{du}\frac{du}{dt}\] ok so when it comes to sine and cosines, we want "u" to be equal to whatever is within the parenthensis so u would equal? u= ?
7t^5
leave it in the form u=7t^5 but yes ok now going back to chain rule, we need du/dt so we need to take the derivative of u with respect to t so u' =?
35t^4
yes, du/dt = 35t^4 write that down somewhere or just remember it, we will need it later next we need to find df/du f being the original function now remember we denoted the stuff within the parenthesis as "u" so you need to take the derivative of 4 sin(u) with respect to u
does this make sense to you?
4 cos(u)
and yes it makes sense
k, please tell me when and/or if my instructions become unclear anyways, yes that's right assuming im not doing it incorrectly in my head
ok anyways now we have df/du and du/dt when you multiply them together, what do you get?
I think this is the part I mess up at
dont worry about it, just multiply the 2 terms we determined above and show me what you get if you make a mistake, ill point it out
140t^4(cos(u))
then plug in u
yea
and 140t^4(cos(7t^5))
good, now remember that's the top now we need to determine the derivative of the bottom
2
ok so now the limit looks like \[\lim_{t \rightarrow 0}\frac{140t^4(\cos(7t^5))}{2}\]
can you solve it now?
\[ 70t^4(\cos(7t^5))\]
i didnt mean simplify it, although that still works take the limit when t approaches 0
0?
yup
I hate calculus problems...
Thank you so much!
