Its coming indeterment

static heath
#

do you need any help

#

@glad palm

#

it's good to see it this way

#

a limit will have two sides that are equal to each other if the limit exists

#

you go from the left or from the right

#

those are called left and right limits

#

often denoted with + or - above the value

#

i. e.

#

$\lim_{x\to 0^+}f(x)$

#

we also say a limit exists if

#

$\lim_{x\to c^+}f(x)=\lim_{x\to c^-}f(x)$

lyric basaltBOT
#

chudcel

static heath
#

and the value of the limit is also those

#

or actually nah i don't think all of this yap was necessary

#

just apply l'hopital's rule

#

i thought there was something like 1/x inside the argument

#

it's a very powerful tool for these problems

#

here's what it says

#

if f, g are continuous and differentiable and $\lim_{x\to c}f(x)=\lim_{x\to c}g(x)=0$, then $\frac{\lim_{x\to c}f(x)}{\lim_{x\to c}g(x)}=\frac{\lim_{x\to c}f'(x)}{\lim_{x\to c}g'(x)}$, where $\lim_{x\to c}g'(x)\neq0$

#

I converted it in sin form

#

I was hoping i could use sinx/x

static heath
#

the last part is more important because anyways you are dealing with the quotient of two continuous, differentiable functions

glad palm
#

Show ur work

static heath
#

yeah the numerator and denominator

#

if you get 0/0

#

in this case i see it happening a lot

glad palm
static heath
#

yeah it works only for 0/0

#

it even works for oo/oo

#

if that's the case i'd use it to find the limit so i can guide myself to the answer

glad palm
#

Can I keep differentiating unless I get the answer that doesn't come 0/0

glad palm
#

Yeah but we cant use this rule in exam

#

No cant.

#

Teachers won't give marks

static heath
#

men can't you use sinx/x limit here

#

you multiply 1/x on both

#

5x6 on both

#

then you get answer

glad palm
#

What to expand here vro?

static heath
#

this works too

static heath
#

like

#

$\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\sin(x)}{x}=1$

#

What's cos expansion?

lyric basaltBOT
#

Waltuh

glad palm
#

I know 1-sin^2x/2 = cos x

#

Is this from binomial expansion?

#

I did that chapter

glad palm
#

Yeah didnt do this chapter, maybe next year

#

In next class

#

Cross multiplied

static heath
#

waht happened

glad palm
#

Why

#

It can be

#

Limits split right

#

Wha

#

See i divided 5x/2 and multiplied it in other side same with 3x, ultimately if you calculate the result will be same since both 5x/2 and 3x will be elimniated

#

I basically arranged it in a way so that I can perform this formula sinx/x

ocean rain
#

wait guys
lt sin(x)/x = 1
x->0

#

sooo multiply and divide perhaps?

#

(i might be wrong tho so please feel free to correct me if you see a problem)

static heath
#

it's squared so the limit identity won't really work here

ocean rain
#

oh.

static heath
#

i genuinely want to use squeeze theorem on this but it doesn't seem very obvious on what bounds i can use

ocean rain
#

hm

#

did you try google for this?

#

i mean...

static heath
#

no i don't use google to solve problems

#

i have to do it on my own

ocean rain
#

i see

#

also why will the limit not work when its squared?

#

coz if im not wrong
lt x->0 sin^2 (x) / x^2 = 1
still holds right?

#

we can move the limit inside right
[lt x->0 sin(x)/x]^2 ?

glad palm
#

Why did u only multiply by 25x^2?

#

I should be 25x^2/4

glad palm
#

Thats not the problem

ocean rain
#

corrected it tho

ocean rain
#

what is then?

#

ah...my bad

glad palm
#

Your answer after correction is right

ocean rain
glad palm
#

25/36 should be coming

ocean rain
#

yea i got that after i corrected the "divide by 4"

#

idk how i made that mistake my bad
