\[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}(1/x^2-\cos3x/x^2)\]
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
nope
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
i'm afraid limits are not my strong point
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
limit of the first term is zero..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i am sorry the limit is zero

wait, you mean, \(\large\color{black}{\displaystyle\lim_{x \rightarrow ~0}\frac{ 1-\cos(3x)}{x^2 }}\) ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ya..thats right.i m sorry
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
okay, so the fastest thing I see is to use L'H'S.
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
(yes, it is in indeterminate form, 0/0 )
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
so its x--> 0 not infinity?

yes, it is what I poster, cwcr

There are couple of methods that can be used without LH too,
one of them involves multiplying
\(\Large 1+\cos 3x \)
in numerator and denominator :)
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
oh ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got the answer 9/2..correct me if i m wrong..i solve it using l hospital rule
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
yes

i am asking to much question..lol.final exam calculus one more day to go..haha
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
you are asking fine,... you can ask as many questions as you want as long as you ask 1 question per post, and don't violate the rules.
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
I was also going to use LHS twice if I were yopu, it is a very fast method in this case.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
are you really a professor dude?
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
Nope, do I look like one?
