OpenStudy (pi123):

Hi I am sorry but I am not very good at math and don't know how to help you with this problem. The way that it is presented is kind of confusing to be honest. But I wish you the best of luck with it, have a good rest of your day. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is the problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its the document I have attached. I don't know another way to put the problem on here other than that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, the limit is 45, so are you asking for the limit or are you asking for something else?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the limit, I knew the answer to that one I just don't know how to work it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh, just plug 3 into x and you get your limit.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

limits are like substitutions in some ways. However, some limits are a bit more special.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for example 1/x-5 when x approaches 5. If it approached from the right side, it will go to infinite, if it approached from the left side, it will go to negative infinite.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much!! Can you please help me with 2 more.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea, sure I got time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.lim x ->4 1/x-3 2.lim x ->0 sin x^2/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the first question, is it 1/(x-3) or is it (1/x)-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/(x-3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, plug in x=4, and your limit should come out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and I somehow got zero for the second one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hm.... wait for a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 2. Did you use l'hospital's rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

l'hopital*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok im lost what is that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

basically, when the limit (the number you plug in) will result in 0/0 or infinite/infinite, the equation would equate to the derivative of the top and bottom. I'll get you a vid to show you how it works.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but on the video he got 1 as the answer
