This is a problem for calculus 1, I'm not familiarized with l'Hospital's rule :\

Do you have any inequalities concerning arctan you can use? Something like 0<=arctan(u)<=u for u=>0?

All I've been given was the limit above. I'm supposed to know what's his limit when x tends to zero

You have know something about the arctan function to solve it. Can you solve it with the inequality I gave you in the last post? BTW I was sloppy and wrote it incorrectly. I fixed it.

FAQ: Solve Limit arctg (x) - Get Help Now

What is the limit of arctan(x) as x approaches infinity?

The limit of arctan(x) as x approaches infinity is equal to π/2.

How do you solve the limit of arctan(x) using L'Hospital's rule?

To solve the limit of arctan(x) using L'Hospital's rule, we first rewrite the limit as the limit of tan(x)/x as x approaches 0. Then, we can apply L'Hospital's rule to find the limit of tan(x)/x, which is equal to 1. Therefore, the limit of arctan(x) as x approaches 0 is also equal to 1.

3. Can the limit of arctan(x) at a specific value of x be found without using L'Hospital's rule?

Yes, the limit of arctan(x) at a specific value of x can be found without using L'Hospital's rule. We can use the definition of the arctan function to find the limit by taking the inverse tangent of the value of x. For example, if we want to find the limit of arctan(x) as x approaches 1, we can take the inverse tangent of 1, which is equal to π/4.

4. Is the limit of arctan(x) always defined?

Yes, the limit of arctan(x) is always defined. The arctan function is continuous at all points except for x = ±π/2, so the limit exists for all values of x.

5. How can the limit of arctan(x) be used in real-life applications?

The limit of arctan(x) can be used in various real-life applications, such as in calculus, physics, and engineering. For example, it can be used to find the slope of a curve at a specific point, or to solve problems involving angles and trigonometric functions. It can also be used to model and analyze real-world phenomena, such as the motion of objects or the behavior of circuits.
