here is the limit

#

we can only use this rules sinx/x and tanx/x

tulip totem
#

I see.

#

Divide the top and bottom by x

#

And then multiply the top and bottom by 1+cos(x)

Why not lopital rule?

tulip totem
#

And then use 1 - cos^2(x) = sin^2(x)

Ok give me a sec doing things in paper

warm flame
#

@tulip totemi'll try doing what u said

@warm flame has given 1 rep to @dapper pollen

#

you get:

(1+cos(x))(tan(5x) + 2(sinx/x))
————
(sinx)(sinx/x)

Wth

warm flame
#

so like : (1 - cosx)/x^2 = 1/2

tulip totem
#

Yes.

warm flame

#

No, because for some reason, the method I suggested fails.

dapper pollen
#

i figured out how to do it

tulip totem
#

Wait. No. The limit is divergent.

warm flame
dapper pollen
#

Well, kinda easy

warm flame
#

okay

# warm flame why not x^2 ?

No need.
First, use the double-angle formula for cosine and divide everything by x:
(x tan(5x) + 2sin(x))/(1 - cos(x)) = (tan(5x) + 2sin(x)/x)/(2sin(x/2)^2/x)
Now it's easy to verify that the limit doesn't exist.
