    THANK YOU, WHY THE WAY SOME PROFESSORS ARE TEACHING, MAKE IT SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND. IN LITERATELY 7 MINUTES YOU TAUGHT 4 HOURS WORTH OF TEACHING.

    Thanks that was really helpful :)..... just want to add sth. There is a rule for a question like (tan 5x ÷ x)
    It is that (tan x ÷ x) = 1 when x→0. In that question u could just make the denominator equal to the neomonater by the multiplication of 5.

    • @Floppylikescheese
      @Floppylikescheese 7 лет назад +1

      It's a property you can use. sinx/x=1 you just have to make sure the numbers correspond, in this case we have 5 on both sides so it still equals 1.

  • @krishufc
    @krishufc 4 года назад

    But you have a denominator as a 5 x so won't it be undefined after you take the limit as x approaches 0?? At 06:31 I see sin5x/5x *1/cos5x so how is that sin 5x/x not a does not exist? SMH......help.

  • @JareuAnimation
    @JareuAnimation 9 лет назад +1

    Thanks for this very helpful video. I have a question: You mentioned that it is OK to separate a constant value and multiply by it later. I noticed that when you pulled out the 5 (Numerator) it became a 5 (which is the same as 5/1), then later when you pulled out a cos(5x) (denominator) it became a 1/cos(5x). Is this a general rule, that when separating denominators you must keep them as 1/n? i.e that would make the second example of 11/3 a shortcut for pulling out (11/1) then pulling out (1/3) and then multiplying to get 11/3.

  • @Invisible12345ful
    @Invisible12345ful 7 лет назад

    I have hard time understanding why lim(x>>>0) of sin(x) is not 0, because obviously the sinus of 0 is 0, and that's what it is constantly reaching for. This also messes with my brain because obviously then lim(x>>>0) of sin(x)/x would be 0/0, but for some reason its considered 1, and even graphically I dont understand why it is 1

  • @OfficialAbednego
    @OfficialAbednego 8 лет назад

    so when you have the problem lim when x is approaching 0 of tan(5x)/x when you split everything up is it ok to say you're converting the 1/cos5x and saying that 5x = y inputing a 0 into the y and cos of 0 is 1 so 1/1 = 1 ? sorry hope i wasn't too confusing explaining what i think you were doing.

  • @Letitgonow
    @Letitgonow 8 лет назад

    You're not writing it in the right notation. You need to use parenthesis because I got so confused as to why 1/cos5x was =1 and why not 5. instead it was 1/cos(5x)= 1/cos(0)=1.

    for the one where the answer is 1/9, wouldn't you multiply the cosine of 0 (which is 1) times 12, giving you a final answer of 1/108?

    Ok I will be honest straight forward this time
    How tF did you get (4x/sin4x) as limit of x approaches 0 to be 1 All I know is 4x0=0 and sin(0)=0 >:'D besides you didn't even do that strange theorem when you divided the leading coefficient in brackets to numerator and denominator >:"D!
    help~

  • @joshuamiller9218
    @joshuamiller9218 5 лет назад

    So basically if cosine is alone on the bottom it just can be changed to the 1 because it’s limit will always be approaching 1?,

    • @MySecretMathTutor
      @MySecretMathTutor  5 лет назад +1

      With these, you are trying to focus on pieces that become "indeterminate." Think of things like a number divided by zero, or zero over zero. In these situations we handle them using value for the limit of sin(x)/x. Down the road we can also make better sense of these using L'Hopitals rule. :^D

  • @justabunga1
    @justabunga1 5 лет назад

    There are limits that also involve 7 indeterminate forms (0/0, plus or minus infinity/plus or minus infinity, infinity-infinity, 0*plus or minus infinity, infinity^0, 1^plus or minus infinity, and 0^0) using l'Hopital's rule. This usually works if it cannot be done using algebraic method. The example in this video will work since plugging in the value will be 0/0. You can take the derivative for both the top and bottom separately (not the derivative for quotient rule). The result will be limit as x goes to 0 of cos(x)/1, so cos(0)=1.

  • @hrishikeshdas9754
    @hrishikeshdas9754 6 лет назад

    sir pls explain the problem when x tends to infinity sin x/ x. I tried doing this in the following way. let x = 1/h so when x tends to infinity, h tends to 0. so now lim h tends to 0 sin (1/h)/1/h. according to your video the answer should be 1 but the answer is 0. plz explain.. Thank you..

  • @semirs.2834
    @semirs.2834 4 года назад

    How would I go about solving the following: x approaches 0 sinx/8x In other words, when the number is only in the denominator.

    • @MySecretMathTutor
      @MySecretMathTutor  4 года назад

      You can think of the 8 as a fraction separate from the rest....
      (1/8)*(sinx / x)
      When you take the limit as x approaches 0, the 1/8 is a constant and will be unaffected.
      So you are left with
      (1/8)*(1) = 1/8
      Hope that helps out. :^D

  • @incodewetrust8862
    @incodewetrust8862 7 лет назад

    as limit of cos x is 1 why cos 4x/cos4x is not 4/4 i mean still 1+(4/4)=2 and is is cos4x=1??

    • @Nothing_serious
      @Nothing_serious 7 лет назад

      christos christou Cos(4x)/cos(4x) is one just so the limit is just one. 4/4 and cos(4x)/cos(4x) both have the same value so both approaches the same value which is one. And yes if the limit approaches zero then the limit of cos(4x) is just one because cos(0) is just 1.
