Limit questions...

OpenStudy (abbles):

I'm on 25 and 26... For 25, I tried multiplying by the conjugate of the numerator, but i ended up with the same equation just with t in the numerator and a sign change in the denominator. It's still giving me an indeterminate form.

OpenStudy (abbles):

I think I figured 26 out, but I'm still stuck on 25

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

\[\large \frac{ (\sqrt{1+t} -\sqrt{1-t} )}{ t }*\frac{ (\sqrt{1+t} +\sqrt{1-t}) }{( \sqrt{1+t} +\sqrt{1-t} ) }\]notice diff. of two squares on top\[\large \frac{ \sqrt{1+t}^2 -\sqrt{1-t}^2 }{ t(\sqrt{1+t} +\sqrt{1-t}) }\] \[\large \frac{ 1+t -(1-t) }{ t(\sqrt{1+t} +\sqrt{1-t}) } \] \[\lim_{t \rightarrow 0}\large \frac{ 2t }{ t(\sqrt{1+t} +\sqrt{1-t}) }=? \]

OpenStudy (abbles):

0 right? which is indeterminate?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

I left the last step for you to simplify

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Look closely\[\Huge \lim_{t \rightarrow 0} \frac{ 2t }{ t(\sqrt{1+t} +\sqrt{1-t}) }=?\]

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Sup dude @johnweldon1993

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Haha how ya doin man....I like how you said "look closely" and wrote it in a bigger font lol But yeah...right off the bat @Abbles do you see anything that can be canceled?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Long time no see. I made it as big as possible haha, i think there are larger fonts but idk how to do them.

OpenStudy (abbles):

The t, right.. but then wouldn't it still be 0?

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Not quite, "on my phone so latex would be incredibly annoying" But take out the "t" on top and bottom and plug in 0 for the remaining t's and simply...what do you get?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

\[\Huge \lim_{t \rightarrow 0} \frac{ 2 }{ \sqrt{1+t} +\sqrt{1-t}}=\] \[\Huge \frac{ 2 }{ \sqrt{1+0} +\sqrt{1-0}}=\]

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

\[\Huge \frac{ 2 }{ \sqrt{1} +\sqrt{1}}=\]

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

And yeah @agent0smith I'm never on because I got 2 jobs this summer...don't have all the time anymore Should be better when I head back to uni for the term...senior year!!!

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Ah, that's no fun. Senior year should be more fun. \[\Huge \frac{ 2 }{ 1 +1}= \]

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

\[\Huge \frac{ 2 }{ 2}=\]

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Lmao I think they got it XD but doesn't get more simplified than that!

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

haha yeah Abbles is a smart girl. But she has a sense of humour too. Divide top and bottom by a common factor \[\Huge \frac{ 2 \div2 }{ 2\div2}= \]

OpenStudy (abbles):

Ayyy I dunno what I was doing! Okay, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much!

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

She'll probably have a laugh while eating some oreos \[\Huge \frac{ 1 }{ 1 }= \]

OpenStudy (abbles):

Yeah yeah :)

OpenStudy (abbles):

Thanks Agent

OpenStudy (abbles):

Oreos smh. More like spinach and carrots.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

\[\Huge \frac{ 1 }{ 1 }= 1 \div 1\]now lets do long division to finish this bad boy off

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

|dw:1470310558290:dw|

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Now let's ask myself why I'm doing long-division at 4:36 am.

OpenStudy (abbles):

Wait now I'm confused. What next?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

You still have to box your answer so the teacher knows.
