HELP How do you find the limit of this?
\[\lim_{\theta \rightarrow 0}\frac{ \sin \theta }{ \theta + \tan \theta }\]
I figured I should replace tan theta with sin theta/cos theta
\[\lim_{\theta \rightarrow 0}\frac{ \sin \theta }{ \theta + \frac{ \sin \theta }{ \cos \theta } }\]
hmm
L'hospital shouldn't be allowed for his task though.
We haven't seen L'Hospital yet
I think I should get everything in terms of sinx or cosx
hmmm yeah... L'Hopital is pretty much for this case, a 0/0 case BUT ..hmm decoupling it... doesn't seem to be lending so easy =(
@jdoe0001 lol why
well, as he/she said, they're not using L'Hopital yet
when u are in exam what u use ?
algebraic manipulations, of course.
\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ \sin(x) }{ x+\frac{ \sin(x) }{ \cos(x)} } = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ 1 }{ \frac{ x }{ \sin(x) } +\frac{ 1 }{ \cos(x) }}=\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ 1 }{ 0+1 }=1\]
@ChillOut @jdoe0001 look my other method
incorrect
lol really @mathmath333 show me my mistake
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ \sin(x) }{ x+\frac{ \sin(x) }{ \cos(x)} } = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ 1 }{\color{red}{ \frac{ x }{ \sin(x) }} +\frac{ 1 }{ \cos(x) }}=\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ 1 }{ 0+1 }=1\)
lim x/sin(x) = 1, so the entire limit is 1/2
moreover the answer comming through L'hopital's rule is \(\dfrac{1}{2}\)
hmm i made mistake i know where is it
You almost got it right though
\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ \sin(x) }{ x+\frac{ \sin(x) }{ \cos(x)} } = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ 1 }{ \frac{ x }{ \sin(x) } +\frac{ 1 }{ \cos(x) }}=\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ 1 }{ 1+1 }=\frac{ 1 }{2 }\]
yup i made mistake @bts30 i know why u steal my solution lol
Noone's stealing. Don't worry if you want Little Stars!
xD
@mathmath333 @bts30 ty both for see my solution
@Fanduekisses u understand how i solve it
@dinamix Sorry I left.
@dinamix how did you get the 2nd part?
lim x-> 0 of 1/x/sinx + 1/cosx?
its just simplif sin(x) only
How did you get the denominator?
hmm i use sin(x)/sin(x) = 1 right ?
sinx/x
did u understand now how i get denominator
no :( how did you get x/sinx? where did the sinx come from? and how did you get 1/cosx? the denominator was originally x+ sinx/cosx how did it change?
sin(x)x/sin(x) = x right ?
yes
he divided both the upper and lower parts by sin(x). That's what he did.
:s
ty for @ChillOut explain
