Limit of Function Homework: Solving Challenging Examples | Let Our Experts Help

In summary, the conversation involved discussing a difficult limit problem involving multiple functions. The individual asking for help was unsure how to start the problem and was struggling with using TeX. They received guidance on how to approach the problem and were able to successfully calculate the limit to be -1. They also discussed the concept of indeterminate forms and how different functions can result in different limiting values even if they both have a [0/0] form.

Homework Statement


hello, I have a little problem with some limit of the functions, could you help me? please

Homework Equations



[tex]\lim_{x \to 0} \quad \displaystyle\frac{\sqrt[3]{1+\mbox{arctg} 3x}-\sqrt[3]{1-\arcsin 3x}}{\sqrt{1-\arcsin 2x}-\sqrt{1+\mbox{arctg} 2x}}
[/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution


it's one of the hardest example from my book, i don't even know how to start it.
i will be very grateful for help

and.. i don't know why my tex doesn't work. do you have some idea?

please correct me,
You were missing the [ tex] and [ /tex] tags (without the leading spaces inside the brackets).

Try multiplying by 1 in the form of (1 + arctan(3x))^(2/3) + (1 + arctan(3x))^(1/3)(1 - arcsin(3x))^(1/3) + (1 - arcsin(3x))^(2/3) over itself.

The underlying idea is that (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2) = a^3 - b^3.

i did just like you said and i got " (0*2)/[0(1+0+0)] :( that means that this is equal 0? right?

i typed this: ((1+(arc tg3x))^1/3 -(1+(arc sin3x))^1/3)/((1-(arc sin2x))^1/2-(1+(arc tg2x))^1/2) into wolfram alpha and there is too 0, but even that i don't think that my calculation is good in mathematician meaning.

what can i do else, what i do wrong?
any idea?

[0/0] is an indeterminate form, which means that an expression that has this form can have any limiting value. Give me a while to take a closer look at this.

[tex]\frac{\sqrt[3]{1+\arctan 3x}-\sqrt[3]{1-\arcsin 3x}}{\sqrt{1-\arcsin 2x}-\sqrt{1+\arctan 2x}}=\\=\frac{\arctan 3x+\arcsin 3x}{-\arcsin 2x-\arctan 2x} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{1-\arcsin 2x}+\sqrt{1+\arctan 2x}}{\sqrt[3]{(1+\arctan 3x)^2}+\sqrt[3]{(1+\arctan 3x)(1-\arcsin 3x)}+\sqrt[3]{(1-\arcsin 3x)^2}}[/tex]

so we got -3/2 *2/3 and that equals -1? is that correct? i have to be sure

-1 is the correct limit.
 
  • #8
yeap, i know that this is the correct limit, but is this a correct calculation :-> -3/2 *2/3->-1
 
  • #9
-3/2 * 2/3 = -1, yes. Is that what you're asking?

by -3/2 i was meaning the first statement of the above equation... :]

but.. i was always thinking that arcus sin3x is going to 0, lim x->0 arcus tg is going to 0 too?
why here we doesn't the same : arcussin3x->0, arcustg3x->0 -->> 0/0 in first statement.

Because 0/0 is not a number. It is one of several indeterminate forms, which means that a limit having this form can come out to be anything. For example, as x --> 0, x/(2x) --> 1/2, x^2/x --> infinity, and x/x^3 --> 0. All three of these limits are of the form [0/0] and their limiting values are different.
 

FAQ: Limit of Function Homework: Solving Challenging Examples | Let Our Experts Help

What is the limit of a function?

The limit of a function is the value that a function approaches as its input approaches a certain value. It is used to describe the behavior of a function near a specific point.

How do I solve challenging examples of limit of function homework?

Solving challenging examples of limit of function homework often involves using various techniques such as factoring, substitution, and L'Hopital's rule. It is important to understand the concept of limits and have a strong foundation in algebra and calculus in order to solve these examples.

Why is it important to understand the limit of a function?

The limit of a function is a fundamental concept in calculus and is used to solve many real-world problems. It helps us understand the behavior of a function and make predictions about its values. Additionally, understanding limits is necessary for further studies in calculus and other branches of mathematics.

Can I use a graphing calculator to find the limit of a function?

While a graphing calculator may be helpful in visualizing the behavior of a function, it cannot provide an exact value for the limit of a function. This is because the limit of a function is a theoretical concept and cannot be accurately represented by a graphing calculator.

Are there any shortcuts or tricks for solving limit of function problems?

While there are techniques that can make solving limit of function problems easier, there are no shortcuts or tricks that can be universally applied. It is important to have a strong understanding of the concepts and methods used to solve these problems in order to be successful.
