cool. imma post a pic real quick

OpenStudy (anikate):
g and l
OpenStudy (jtvatsim):
g should be similar to the very first question. I'm going to predict that this is some sort of infinity.
OpenStudy (jtvatsim):
It's hard for me to see i) so I'll hold my predictions.... :)

I got undefined after plugging in thr x value
OpenStudy (jtvatsim):
OK, so if that's good enough for your teacher, then you are done. Otherwise you can try an x a little to the left and/or right as needed.
OpenStudy (jtvatsim):
Or graph it! :)

So there is a little - sign below the limit?
OpenStudy (anikate):
yea
OpenStudy (jtvatsim):
So you could try an x slightly to the left of 4 if you like.
OpenStudy (anikate):
ok 3.9?
OpenStudy (jtvatsim):
Sure that should do it. A graph will also reveal which infinity this is.

I got -20 after plugging in 3.9
OpenStudy (anikate):
I want t
OpenStudy (anikate):
try
OpenStudy (anikate):
i want to try and do these without graphing, cuz were not supposed ot

Well, in that case... :)
OpenStudy (jtvatsim):
Best answer at this point then since you got a negative, would be to say this is negative infinity.
OpenStudy (anikate):
got it
OpenStudy (anikate):
and can you show me how to do l
OpenStudy (anikate):
its the second to last one

Sure thing, let's see it!
OpenStudy (jtvatsim):
I can make out everything except the x information under the limit.

cool
OpenStudy (anikate):
yup
OpenStudy (jtvatsim):
Alright, so we obviously will get a 0 on the bottom, but let's look at the top, what is cos(0)?
OpenStudy (anikate):
why 0 on the bottom?
OpenStudy (anikate):
i thoght x turn to 1 in hospitals

Only if you get 0/0 as the limit when you first plug in. It's a key restriction.
OpenStudy (jtvatsim):
L'Hospital only works when the limit is 0/0 exactly.
OpenStudy (jtvatsim):
In this case, we actually get 1/0. Since cos(0) = 1.
OpenStudy (anikate):
oh ok
OpenStudy (jtvatsim):
Tricky fish!
