Find the limit.

OpenStudy (zenmo):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ \sin5x }{ \tan3x }\]

OpenStudy (zenmo):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ sinx }{ x }=1\] use this formula

OpenStudy (sparrow2):

@zemno i passed java starting to learn c++ in this semester :D

OpenStudy (zenmo):

cool :)

OpenStudy (sparrow2):

what about your programming courses?

OpenStudy (zenmo):

my first course of C++ finals will be next month

OpenStudy (sparrow2):

what compiler are you using?

OpenStudy (zenmo):

codeblocks for now, since it is beginner friendly

OpenStudy (sparrow2):

oh we use microsoft visual 2008 c++

OpenStudy (zenmo):

I could use microsoft visual studio 2015, since there is a free student account

OpenStudy (sparrow2):

for java eclipse

OpenStudy (zenmo):

\[\frac{ \sin5x }{ 1 }*\frac{ 1 }{ \sin3x }*\frac{ \cos3x }{ 1 }\]

myininaya (myininaya):

hint multiply by 15x/(15x)

OpenStudy (zenmo):

No clue, how to multiply it by 15x/15x

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\frac{\sin(5x)}{5x} \cdot \frac{3x}{\sin(3x)} \cdot \cos(3x) \cdot \frac{5}{3}\]

myininaya (myininaya):

I multiply top and bot by 15x/(15x) I hope you see why now

OpenStudy (zenmo):

Could you show it directly? I don't see it

OpenStudy (sparrow2):

is it then 5/3?

myininaya (myininaya):

yes because you have 1*1*1*5/3

myininaya (myininaya):

or @Zenmo do you mean you don't see where I multiplied 15x/(15x)?

OpenStudy (zenmo):

\[\frac{ 5x *\sin5x }{ 5x * 1 }* \frac{ 3x * 1 }{ 3x * \sin3x }*\cos3x\] thats what i tried to do just now, and yes; I don't see where you multipled 15x/15x

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\frac{\sin(5x)}{\color{red}{5x}} \cdot \frac{\color{red}{3x}}{\sin(3x)} \cdot \cos(3x) \cdot \frac{\color{red}{5}}{\color{reD}3}\]

myininaya (myininaya):

15x I wrote as 3x*5 on top 15x I wrote as 5x*3 on bot

myininaya (myininaya):

you do what you did tooo... but you will just have to cancel x/x... \[\frac{5 x \sin(5x)}{5x \cdot 1} \cdot \frac{3x \cdot 1}{3x \sin(3x)} \cdot \cos(3x) \\ 5x \cdot \frac{\sin(5x)}{5x} \cdot \frac{1}{3x} \cdot \frac{3x}{\sin(3x)} \cdot \cos(3x) \\ \frac{5x}{3x} \cdot \frac{\sin(5x)}{5x} \cdot \frac{3x}{\sin(3x)} \cdot \cos(3x) \\ \frac{5}{3} \cdot \frac{\sin(5x)}{5x} \cdot \frac{3x}{\sin(3x)} \cdot \cos(3x)\] I hope you see I just used that multiplication is commutative in your answer (meaning I moved a lot of stuff around on top and on bot)

OpenStudy (zenmo):

thanks! I see it now, on how you expanded mines

OpenStudy (zenmo):

I'm not good at moving the numbers and fractions around yet.

myininaya (myininaya):

just remember if you have multiplication you can move things around example \[\frac{a}{b} \cdot \frac{c}{d} \text{ is same as } \frac{a}{d} \cdot \frac{c}{b}\]

myininaya (myininaya):

did you want to try another for more practive?

OpenStudy (zenmo):

sure

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\cot(4x)}{\csc(2x)}\]

OpenStudy (zenmo):

\[\frac{ \cos4x }{ 1 }* \frac{ 1 }{ \sin4x }* \frac{ \sin2x }{ 1 }\] \[\frac{ \cos4x }{ 1 }*\frac{ 4x }{ 4x * \sin4x }*\frac{ 2x*\sin2x }{ 2x }\] \[\frac{ 2x }{ 4x }=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (zenmo):

Done

myininaya (myininaya):

you're good :)

OpenStudy (zenmo):

I know how to do this easily by using L ' hospital rule, but professor wants to do it the standard way of using the formula sinx/x=1

OpenStudy (zenmo):

thanks for the practice :)

myininaya (myininaya):

the "standard way" is good too because it exercises your manipulation skills on algebra ... you will be a master manipulator of numbers
