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: evaluate ∫(cosx/(2+cosx))dx
Resolve into partial fractions to get 1-(2/(2+cos x)), then the rest is easy.

Hint: see efficiencie's integration of 1/(cos k+cos x) and take cos k=2.
EducationRe: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by jackpot(f):
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! wink cheesy

Another Sexy approach:
Let x>0,
-1 ≤ sin x ≤ 1 → -1/x ≤ (sin x)/x ≤ 1/x.
Take limit as x→∞, we have
0 ≤ limx→∞ (sin x)/x ≤ 0.
By SQUEEZE Theorem, we conclude that
limx→∞ (sin x)/x = 0.

efficiencie: I tried it and f(x)→-9 as x→0 from the left and right but at x=0, f(0)→∞ where f(x)=(3x-tan3x)/x^3
Nah, try again. In my calculator, both left and right limits →∞.

For example, my calculator's angle is on degree and
f(-0.01)=f(0.01)=29476.40118
f(-0.001)=f(0.001)=2947640.122
f(-0.0001)=f(0.0001)=294764012.2

yeah,

@the first red biro,

I am only squeezing face at the ''tends to'' (→) sign wink

@the second red biro
I thought it should be f(0)→-9. undecided
EducationRe: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by jackpot(f): 1:33pm On Jul 06, 2014
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

efficiencie: but what, miss Jackpot!
If you use calculator and take numbers closer to zero, you'll get numbers tending to infinity.

@doubleDx, efficiencie
try it and comment on what you see.

Maybe it has to do with how the calculator is programmed.
EducationRe: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by jackpot(f): 11:17am On Jul 06, 2014
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,
Limx->0 (3x-tan3x)/(x^3)= -9.


lesser trouble wink

SportsRe: Mikel Kicked Against Ramon Azeez Substitution by jackpot(f): 6:46pm On Jul 05, 2014
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: Let 'Lim' denote d limiting value as x tends to zero.

Lim{(3x-tan3x)/(x^3)}
On applyn l'hopitals, since the functn results in (0/0)
= Lim{(3-3.Sec^2(3x))/(3x^2)}
On applyn l'hopitals again, since the functn results in (0/0)
= Lim{(-18.Sec^2(3x)tan(3x))/(6x)}
(I luv dis!) On applyn l'hopitals again, since the functn results in (0/0)
= Lim{-9.sec^4(3x) - 18.Sec^2(3x)tan^2(3x)) }
= Lim{-9.sec^4(3x)} - Lim{18.Sec^2(3x)tan^2(3x)) }
= -9 - 18.(1).(0)
= -9

that was exactly what I got, but. . .

EducationRe: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by jackpot(f): 4:37pm On Jul 05, 2014
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 grin 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!
exactly! Respect, Sire! wink cool

EducationRe: 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 Limx ->0e^x = Limx->0cos x = 1, so can we say e^x= cos x?
EducationRe: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by jackpot(f): 9:45pm On Jul 04, 2014
doubleDx: Ok another approach. Rushed!

=> e{lim x→0 -sin(x)}
=> Factoring out constants yields =>

=> 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?

efficiencie: Someone posted the below question, I quess Sir Chides and I think the doctors in the clinic need to diagnose and profer 'curative' measures for the problem:

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.
EducationRe: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by jackpot(f): 6:22pm On Jul 04, 2014
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?
