Help me please solve this question..question at below

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}(1/x^2-\cos3x/x^2)\]

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

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

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?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, it is what I poster, cwcr

hartnn (hartnn):

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

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you used L'h"s twice ? :D

hartnn (hartnn):

its correct! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

very good!

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I haven't considered solving the original problem you posted....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I mean asides from the title

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am not even a matematician

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a little bit..lol

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

:)
