limx→0 14csc^2(x)−14cot^2(x) using L'Hopital's rule..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have you used l'hopital's rule before when the equation is subtraction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

awh, ok thats why this is being a pain for ya!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you walk me through the steps of how to complete this problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, 1 second..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its been a while since i've done one like this but... this type of problem is called 'indeterminate differences' so the trick is to get a common denominator. (hint, first start with re writting the csc and cot as sin and cos) can you do this, or should i help u more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it will be rewritten as 14/sin^2x -14/tan^2x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good, then lets convert the tan into terms of sin and cos

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1383350534863:dw| does that make sense where things go? I left out the 14 and ^2
