limit
\[\LARGE \lim_{x \to 0^{+} }\frac{1-cosx-xsinx}{\sin^{2}x+2cosx-2}\]
I though it was in the form (0/0) so, applied L'hospital...
just put 0 where x is
on calculator
sorry I don't get calculators on exams
it is 0/0 what u get after L'H rule?
D:
getting same
denominator still =0 what about numerator ?after applying LH rule?
\[f(x) = -sinx-(x-cosx+sinx)\]\[g(x) = (2)(sinx)(cosx) + 2(sinx)\]
what have you done to numerator :O derivative of cos x is - sin x and for x sin x, you'll need product rule
same for denominator derivative of cos x is - sin x
how did u get x-cosx+sinx ?
o wait let me fix that\[\frac{(sinx+xcosx-sinx)}{\sin(2x)-2sinx}\]
oh that's -(x*-cosx +sinx)
(x sin x)' = x cos x + sin x
so numerator is just sin x - x cos x - sin x which is just -xcos x got this ?
\[\frac{cosx+(xsinx +(cosx))-cosx)}{2\cos(2x)-2cosx}\]
yea I used L'hospital again because it was in indeterminate form
you didn't need to apply L'Hopital's again :P you can but not required
lets try to solve this \(\large \dfrac{-x\cos x}{\sin 2x - 2\sin x}\) you got till here ?
= 1+0+1-1/2-2.... what that's not right.... what you have is -(0+)(1)/(0-0)
yea I got that If I simplify\[\frac{xsinx+cosx}{2(2\cos^{2}x-1)-2cosx}\]
so just plug in x =0 now
because you don't get 0/0 form now
1/(2(1)-(2))
I got something worse ahhhhh.
you got 1/0 = +infinity
how is that worse ? :P
o well I guess that is my answer..
yup.
another one coming up ;)
the bottom is going to 0 but you would still need to determine if it was from the left or right
Its from the right because the limit is x--->0+
x is coming from the right...what about the expression in the denominator
Well I am sure that the fourth quadrant x is positive. if we approach zero from QI or QIV
is this \[2(2\cos^{2}x-1)-2cosx\] going to zero from the left or right you need to show that is is coming from the right
so is cosx than
if you give that as an answer...it will be marked wrong.
Oh thanks for worring Zarkon...but its multiple choice so the markers are not picky.
