1. the limit as x approaches 0 of (sinx/x) is 1. Hence, you need to get the given expression, sin3x/7x in the form sinu/u. Observe that sin3x/7x = (sin3x/3x)*(3x/7x)... multiply the numerator and denominator by 3x so we have the expression sinu/u. Thus, the limit as x approaches 0 of (sin3x/3x)*(3x/7x)is simply (1)*(3/7).

You CANNOT use QUOTIENT rule since the question is asking for the VALUE of a particular LIMIT of a function, NOT the slope of the tangent at a particular point. You CAN use L'Hopital's Rule if you know what it is (I suggest you stick with the basics).

yes! tnk u ok? It's actually (x->0.) Find the limit of cot(x)-csc(x) as x approached 0? Lim [cot(x) - csc (x)] ..x->0 = Lim [(cos x -1)/sin x] ..x->0 Use L'Hopital's rule and take the ratio of the derivatives: Lim (-sin x/cos x) =

is the limit as x approaches 0 of sin3x over 3x equal to zero? sorry-- basically this is my problem: lim [sin 3x / 4x) x-> 0 ~~~~I multiplied& eventually got to .75* lim (sin 3x / 3x) x-> 0 ~so i figured since (lim (sinx/x) x-> 0
