evaluate: trig limit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{ xtanx^3 }{ x^4}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is being cubed? just the \(x\) i take it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just the x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first cancel an \(x\) top and bottom and get \[\frac{\tan(x^3)}{x^3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then rewrite it as \[\frac{\sin(x^3)}{x^3}\times \frac{1}{\cos(x^3)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now it should be more or less obvious

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry… i lied.. he has the question written down worn on my assignment.. the tanx is cubed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok no matter, it is still 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have 3 copies of \(\frac{\sin(x)}{x}\) and one \(\frac{1}{\cos^3(x)}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\cos(0)=1\) and \(\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\sin(x)}{x}=1\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh that's a lot simpler than i thought…. thanks!!!
