  1. Ask your question and show the work you've done so far. If you've posted a screenshot of a question, specify which part you need help with.
  2. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  3. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:
    +close
    
  4. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  5. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  6. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

I don’t think it’s defined because depending if x tends from the left or right side the denominator is going to be either always 0 or always 1

#

$\tan(x)=x+\frac{x^{3}}{3} +o(x^{4})$

For x approaching 0

#

now if x<0 you can see that around 0 tan(x)<x but if x>0 tan(x)>x

#

so if x tends from the left side you will get 0 for the denom and 1 if it’s from the right side

#

likewise depending on from which side x tends you have asymptotically sin(x)<x for x>0 and sin(x)>x for x<0

#

So one of both tends to 0 or 1

#

in the sum I mean

#

@dense obsidian

dense obsidian
#

Mmmm, But here they didn't say anything like x is approaching from left or right

obsidian stirrup
#

No I think I got confused i any case tan(x)/x>1

#

because either tan(x)>x for x>0 or tan(x)<x for x<0 so tan(x)/x>1 in any case

#

So the denominator tends to 1

#

So denominator is 1

#

@obsidian stirrup

#

Can't we say

#

that

#

when x is tending to 0

#

Sinx is approximately equal to x

#

But these espressions "Sinx/x" and x/Sinx"

#

are not defined at x = 0

obsidian stirrup
# dense obsidian Sinx is approximately equal to x

yes we can but here its the greatest integer function so you need to see if sin(x)/x<1 or sin(x)/x>1 for x approching 0 so depending on that fact the function is going to be 0 or 1 when x >0 sin(x)<x and for x<0 sin(x)>x but in any case you have sin(x)/x<1 and x/sin(x)>1

#

because around 0 sin(x)=x-x^3/6 +o(x^4)

#

so you can conclude

dense obsidian
#

Mmmm, so it's -1

obsidian stirrup
#

well considering around 0 sin(x)/x <1 then floor(sin(x)/x)=0 for x approaching 0

#

and floor(x/sin(x))=1 for x approaching 0

dense obsidian
#

Yes

obsidian stirrup
#

as ive said

#

and weve established that floor(tan(x)/x) is 1 as x approaches 0

#

Ok @obsidian stirrup

#

Thanks for your help 🙂

#

I understood

#

Umm, How to give a rep point for you?

#

lol

obsidian stirrup
#

reply by thanking me if you want to give rep points
