Lim sin2h sin3h / h^2
h-->0

how would you do this ?? i got 6 as the answer, just want to make sure it's right.

and i couldn't get this one (use theorem 2)
lim tanx/x
x-->0

and also this one (use squeeze theorem to evaluate the limit)

lim (x-1)sin Pi/x-1
x-->1

1. Reiny

the first one is correct.
Here is a simple way to check your limit answers if you have a calculator

pick a value very "close" to your approach value, in this case I would pick x = .001
evaluate using that value, (you are not yet dividing by zero, but close)
I got a value of 5.999985 which I would say is close to 6

for lim tanx / x as x -->0
= lim (sinx/cosx)/x
= lim (sinx/x)*lim 1/cosx as x ----> 0
= 1*1 = 1

If you meant lim (x-1)sinπ/(x-1)
wouldn't the last one simply be sinπ or 0 ?

Suppose lim x->0 {g(x)-g(0)} / x = 1. It follows necesarily that a. g is not defined at x=0 b. the limit of g(x) as x approaches equals 1 c.g is not continuous at x=0 d.g'(0) = 1 The answer is d, can someone please explain how?

I have a question relating to limits that I solved lim(x-->0) (1-cosx)/2x^2 I multiplied the numerator and denominator by (1+cosx) to get lim(x->0) (1-cos^2x)/2x^2(1+cosx) = lim(x->0)sin^2x/2x^2(1+cosx) the lim(x->0) (sinx/x)^2 …

Show that limit as n approaches infinity of (1+x/n)^n=e^x for any x>0... Should i use the formula e= lim as x->0 (1+x)^(1/x) or e= lim as x->infinity (1+1/n)^n Am i able to substitute in x/n for x?
