ANDREW2EIC: I hail all the gurus in the house. I humbly plead you guys to help me solve these problems. 1.) if x = a(1-cosecD) and y = a(secD + tanD), show that xy2 + a2(a2 - x ) = 0.
2.) a polynomial p(x) is divided by x2 - x and the remainder is A + Bx. Determine the constants Aand B. Detailed explanation would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, **sighs** first Q: I can't show what isn't true. second Q: incomplete data. |

efficiencie: Lim(sinx/x) as x→∞
Put x=2πn+θ Where Limx as x→∞ is equivalent to Lim(2πn+θ) as n→∞
Hence the new limit problem is:
Lim(sin(2πn+θ)/(2πn+θ)) as n→∞
Since sin(2πn+θ)=sinθ for all real values of 'n' no matter how large!
Then Limsin(2πn+θ)=Limsinθ as n→∞
= Lim(sin(θ)/(2πn+θ)) as n→∞
= sin(θ)/Lim(2πn+θ)) as n→∞
= sin(θ)/(Lim(2πn)+θ)) as n→∞
= sin(θ)/(Lim(2πn)+θ)) as n→∞ = 0
(I luv dis Jackpot sister, she's on fire!) confam!  Another Sexy approach: Let x>0, -1 ≤ sin x ≤ 1 → -1/x ≤ (sin x)/x ≤ 1/x. Take limit as x→∞, we have 0 ≤ lim x→∞ (sin x)/x ≤ 0. By SQUEEZE Theorem, we conclude that lim x→∞ (sin x)/x = 0. |

efficiencie: I don't have to check! The function f(x) = (3x-tan3x)/x^3 records a 'jump discontinuity at x=0 because the left and right limits defined as:
Limf(x) as x→+0 and Limf(x) as x→-0 both converge to -9 but f(0)→∞ and it's expected that in the neighbourhood of 0, f(0)→0  |

The Taylor Series expansion of tan x is tan x= x+(1/3)x^3+(2/15)x^5+. . . Then, tan 3x= 3x + 9x^3+ (162/5)x^5+. . . Now, 3x-tan3x=-9x^3-(162/5)x^5+. . . Thus, (3x-tan3x)/(x^3)= -9 -(162/5)x^2-. . . hence, Lim x->0 (3x-tan3x)/(x^3)= -9. lesser trouble  |

I don't see anything wrong with it. Messi did it against Zlatan Ibrahimovic of all people at Barca. He was the one telling Pep to play him centreforward (Ibra's position). Ibra left Barca on sour terms.
Football is a team play by 11 persons. If one person feels uncomfortable on the pitch, it's likely the whole team will go down. |

efficiencie: cosx is clearly not a function of e^x, directly, but both are functions of 'x' and if both converge to unity as x tends to zero then in the limit they are equal such that cosx=e^x as x tends to zero. hence if i say let y=e^x then Limy=Lime^x as x tends to zero and if Lime^x=1 as x tends to zero then Limy=1 as x tends to zero and in other terms it could be stated that: e^x=1 as x tends to zero or y=1 as x tends to zero. however with regards to my solution i guess i can make it clearer by adding these lines of reasoning: Limlny=-Limsinx as x tends to zero Limlny=0 as x tends to zero lnLimy=0 as x tends to zero Limy=e^0 as x tends to zero Limy=1 as x tends to zero and since y=(sinx)^(sinx) then Lim[(sinx)^(sinx)]=1 ^confirm! |

doubleDx: Sorry, my bad; the error was from my typing it was supposed to be =>
lim x→0 sin(x){sin(x)}
^^^
It's in indeterminate form of 00.
Transforming yields => lim x→0 e[ln{sin(x)}.sin(x)]
For indeterminate form of type 0.∞ =>
We write => lim x→0 ln{sin(x)}.sin(x) as => lim x→0 ln{sin(x)} ÷ 1/sin(x) =>lim x→0 sin(x)ln{sin(x)}
Applying L'Hospital rule yields =>
=> lim x→0 e{-sin(x)} => Factoring out constants yields =>
=> lim x→0 e- {sin(x)}
=> e(0)
=> 1
^^^^
Also if you use the [color=deeppink]continuity[/color] of esin(x) at x = 0, the bold can be rewritten as =>
1/lim x→0 e{sin(x)} or e-{lim x→0 sin(x)}.
The limit of sin(x) as x→0 is 0, hence the solution! |
Education › Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by jackpot(f): 9:52pm On Jul 04, 2014 |
efficiencie: if B=A(x) then the limiting value of A(x) as x tends to x(0) would also be the limiting value of B as x tends to x(0). Mathematically, limB=limA(x)=l as x→x(0) and hence B=A(x)=l in the limit. So i didn't cancel out the Lim's so to say, it simply follows from the definition of limits!
for limlny=-limsinx as x→0 the limiting variable is x and not y, since y is a function of x such that: y=(sinx)^(sinx) now, from your bolded comment, if Lim x ->0e^x = Lim x->0cos x = 1, so can we say e^x= cos x? |

=> e- {lim x→0 sin(x)}
=> e(0)
=> 1 outstanding. But under which condition should one pass limit from ground to the exponent as you did in the bolded? |

Evaluate: ∫dx/(cosk + cosx) it's a cheap question. K is a constant, so, cos k is also a constant. The rest follows similarly to the integration of sec x. |

efficiencie: Lim (sinx)^(sinx) as x→0 Let y=(sinx)^(sinx) lny=sinx.lnsinx lny=lnsinx/cosecx Which results in -∞/∞ as x→0 Limlny=lim(lnsinx/cosecx) Limlny=lim((dlnsinx/dx)/(dcosecx/dx)) Limlny=lim(cotx/-cosecxcotx) Limlny=-lim(1/cosecx) Limlny=-lim(sinx) lny=0 as x→0 y=1 Hence Lim (sinx)^(sinx)=1 as x→0 I am having problems with the bolded. How can you equate "limit" both sides and cancel out? Next, that LimIny is as y tends to what? |
