Evaluate this limit

do it bud

umerlodhi (umerlodhi):

post it!

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow \pi} \frac{ e^{\sin(x)}-1 }{ x-\pi }\] clearly just plugging in x = pi wont work. because you would get zero in the denominator. This is what I waS thinking. \[\frac{ \frac{ d }{ dx }e^{\sin(x)}-1 }{ \frac{ d }{ dx}x-\pi } = e^{\sin(x)}*\cos(x) \]

OpenStudy (greatlife44):

i'm getting zero for this

OpenStudy (greatlife44):

\[e^{\sin(\pi}*Cos(\pi) = -1*0 = 0\]

OpenStudy (owen3):

Use Lhopital's rule

OpenStudy (freckles):

cos(pi) is not 0

OpenStudy (freckles):

e^(sin(pi)) is also not 0

OpenStudy (freckles):

so not sure where you get 0 from

OpenStudy (freckles):

maybe you know cos(pi) is -1 but e^(sin(pi)) is e^0 which is 1

OpenStudy (greatlife44):

oh. totally missed that

OpenStudy (greatlife44):

\[\sin(\pi) = 0, e^(0) = 1 \] \[-1+1 =0 \]

OpenStudy (owen3):

$$ \lim_{x \rightarrow \pi} \frac{ e^{\sin(x)}-1 }{ x-\pi } \implies \lim_{x \rightarrow \pi} \frac{ e^{\sin(x)} \cos x }{ 1 } $$

OpenStudy (freckles):

should be multiplication not addition

OpenStudy (greatlife44):

i've been doing problems all night lol... i think i need to take a break.

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[e^{\sin(\pi)} \cdot \cos(\pi)=e^{0} \cdot (-1)=1 (-1)=-1\]
