@ganeshie8 i know i have to simplify because i have to break that indetermination but i just don know how to
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
you may use `1-cos^2 = sin^2`

ok
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\[\large \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{1-\cos^{2}{x}}{ 3\sin{x} } = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin^{2}{x}}{ 3\sin{x} } = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin x}{ 3} \]
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
take the limit ^^

ok

i guess the question is, how do get that 1-cos(x) = sin^2(x)

sorry 1-cos^2(x)

@ganeshie8 ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
thats a good question,
familiar with below trig identity ?
\[\large \sin^2x + \cos^2x = 1\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is there a place where i could check the trig identities?
