Its coming indeterment
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.
$\lim_{x\to 0^+}f(x)$
chudcel
chudcel
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
What's that?
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 $\lim_{x\to c}g'(x)\neq0$
chudcel
the last part is more important because anyways you are dealing with the quotient of two continuous, differentiable functions
So i just need to differentiate the whole thing?
Show ur work
yeah the numerator and denominator
if you get 0/0
in this case i see it happening a lot
Damn this rule is crazy. You can just apply it anywhere or is there any exceptions

But teachers won't give marks if I do this way
if that's the case i'd use it to find the limit so i can guide myself to the answer
Can I keep differentiating unless I get the answer that doesn't come 0/0
yes
Daymen
Yeah but we cant use this rule in exam
No cant.
Teachers won't give marks
men can't you use sinx/x limit here
you multiply 1/x on both
5x6 on both
then you get answer
What to expand here vro?
this works too
@glad palm do they allow you to use this limit
like
$\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\sin(x)}{x}=1$
Yes, sinx/x = 1 and tanx/x=1, in school you can cut perform anything you want but ultimately you have to bring answer using this formula
chudcel
you can do this
What's cos expansion?
Waltuh
Bro dont know this formula
I know 1-sin^2x/2 = cos x
Is this from binomial expansion?
I did that chapter
Bro
Yeah didnt do this chapter, maybe next year
In next class
Cross multiplied
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
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)
it's squared so the limit identity won't really work here
oh.
i genuinely want to use squeeze theorem on this but it doesn't seem very obvious on what bounds i can use
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 ?
In above it should be 25x^2/4
Why did u only multiply by 25x^2?
I should be 25x^2/4
Limits will work even squared
Thats not the problem
yay
25/36 should be coming
