plse help me to solve this
@amistre64
what does the top equal at pi/2? or what does it limit to?
@amistre64 what is not clear to you in question, plse tell
the question is clear enough, but we need to know what the limit of the top part of the function is as x approaches pi/2
once we know that, we can then determine a, and also determine b
i calculate but not getting the limit of first function
see if a Lhopital helps out
the limit of the derivatives ...
\[\frac{1-sin^3x}{3cos^2x}\] \[\frac{-3sin^2x~cosx}{-6sinx~cosx}\] \[\frac{1}{2}\frac{sin^2x~\cancel{cosx}}{sinx~\cancel{cosx}}\] at pi/2, = 1/2, therefore a needs to be 1/2 find the limit of the bottom such that a suitable b gets it to 1/2
therefore, a= 1/2 so what is the value of b
@msingh you should wait until amistre64 comes online. It's hard to continue other's stuff.
okay
@dan815 can you help him?
amistre already gave him answser, it is 0/0 indeterminate form, so use l'hospital rule
ok
nice display pic lol :)
okay @Loser66 i m trying to solve it using lhopstial rule
do u want to know where this lhospital rule ccomes from
hahaha... too many beautiful young lady here, there should be an old one to make them more beautiful, right?
basically you know both the top and bottom is going to 0/0 so, taking the derivative will tell you, which one of them is going to go to 0 first, or what is the ratio of change between the derivatives, so u take lhospital rule to see if it simplifies
^ just the intuition, look at proof to understand more
