Lim x-> 0 , tan2x/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tan2x = sin2x/cos2xx

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[\huge\color{blue}{ \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}~~~\frac{\tan(2x)}{x} } \]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

use L'H'S derive top and bottom, tan(2x) ' = 2sec^2(2x) x' = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try not to use L'H'S because you learn that in Calculus 2. Use your trig knowledge and the theorems provided to you in Calculus 1

Cjr712 I have sin2x/xcos2x where do I go from there

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Okay, @cjr712, actually your way is better.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@singlemom76 look at my attachment in my first post

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I only seen a small portion of it

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

till where do you see, till " now try to do this limit" ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

i thought L'H'S is calculus 1.

Class just started 7 days ago

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you are at sin2x/xcos2x then multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 so you have lim x>0 sin2x/2x * 2/cos2x then you can use the theorem lim x>0 sinx/x = 1 and your left with the lim as x>o 2/cos2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can I go any further

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@solomonzelman Should be in the chapter that coverts Integration techniques L'Hopital's Rule, and Improper Integrals in Calculus 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the limit of x>0 sin2x/2x is 1 and then you can do the limit of 2/cos2x by pluging in a 0 for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not allowed to give you the answer I think lol but I can confirm it :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ cjr712 want to help with another one
