Above is a function which I have been given to take the limits of, now we were briefly introduced to L'Hospitals rule and given this example! Here is what I have done so far...l..Basically I know that I have to take the derivatives of each of the functions in the quotient and then tend it to...

I am working on an physics problem and it has boiled down to this integral. \int_{0}^{∞} r e^{-\frac{1}{2 r_0}(r-i r_0^2 q)^2}dr I found that if I make the substitution ##u=r-i r_0^2 q##, then I can do the integration, but I am a little confused about what the limits would be in terms of...

1. Homework Statement [/b] Suppose the lim(x,y) →(0,0) (xy)/SQRT[x^2 + y^2] if it exists find the limit. The Attempt at a Solution x = rcosΘ y = r sinΘ r = SQRT[x^2 + y^2] ∴ lim[SUB]r → 0 (r2cosΘrsinΘ)/ r = rcosΘsinΘ \leq r and so -r \leq(xy)/SQRT[x^2 + y^2] \leq r ... ... I can...

Homework Statement an= (n/n+2)^n ANS: 1/e^2 The Attempt at a Solution I was told this was convergent and I need to find the limit of the sequence. How do I do this, as I seem to keep getting that this is divergent. Isn't it divergent to infinity? Or am I missing something?

Is there a "Leibnitz theorem" for sums with variable limits? Wikipedia says that if we want to differentiate integrals where the variable is in the limit and in the integrand, we can use Leibnitz theorem: But what if I need to integrate a function defined like this:\Sigma_{I(x)}[f(x,t)]...

\int (x+1/x2-3x-5)dx I can't put the limits on the integral sign, 5 is the top limit and 3 is the bottom limit. I can solve using partial fractions ok but I have never solved with limits before. Where do the limits come in, do I need them at the start or can I factorise as usual and use...

Hello, I have seen (in H Cartan's differential calculus) a proof that if F is a Banch space, L(E,F) where E is some vector space, is also a Banach space. One of the main points of the proof is based on the behaviour of a function being "proper" (continuous) on a ball of arbitrary radius "n"...

When do you check the limit from the right and left of a limit with an absolute value in the numerator or denominator? For example, why do you check the limit from both sides of: Lim x -> 3/2 (2x^2-3x)/absolute value(2x-3) But only the left side of: limit as x approaches -2...

so in the image in the link below, i don't understand a couple of things: 1.) the center of the cylinder is off to the side and not at the center. where/how in the problem are we taking this into account? because it should definitely affect the volume under the parabaloid right? 2.) most of...

First of all, THIS IS NOT HOMEWORK. It's related to my research. And forgive me if this is rather elementary (sadly, I was something of an underachiever at school, which has left some gaps in my maths education that I've been working on since I returned to education) but I have a question...

Everything here is in a Hilbert space. If x_n\to x and y_n\to y in norm, then under what conditions does <x_n,y_n>\to <x,y>? Is this always true, and why? Does anyone have a source?

Hopefully this is in the right sub-forum. Anyway, we all know the Planck length placed a limit on how small something can be and still make physical sense. Is there a macro version of this? Is it possible that the universe/multiverse, or some other macro object, can only be so big before it...

when we find a limit for an undefined point on a curve , X^2 - 1 / x - 1 at x = 1 for instance we reshape the equation without actually changing anything to find the limit at this point . why can't we do that to define the point on the function ? i mean clearly if we say F(x) = x^2 - 1 / X -...

If you have f(x) = 1/x and g(a) = (cosx - 1)/x and then y = [limx→0 f(x)][limx→0g(x)], the two individual limits equal 0 and infinity, respectively. Since these are limits and only approach these values, would the multiplication of the two limits equal 0, infinity or something else?
