[SOLVED] One-Sided Limits
I've been having problems solving for these one-sided limits.
1.[tex]\stackrel{lim}{x\rightarrow\pi^-}\frac{sinx}{1-cosx}[/tex]
2.[tex]\stackrel{lim}{x\rightarrow\O^+}xln(x)[/tex]
3.[tex]\stackrel{lim}{x\rightarrow\frac{\pi}{2}^-}(sec (x)-tan(x))[/tex]
I solved #1 as =0/1 =0
I solved #2 as [tex]\stackrel{lim}{x\rightarrow\O^+}\frac{ln(x)}{\frac{1}{x}}[/tex]
=[tex]\frac{\frac{1}{x}}{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{0}}{1}[/tex]
=0
I solved #3 as [tex]\stackrel{lim}{x\rightarrow\frac{\pi}{2}^-}(sec (x)-tan(x))[/tex]
=[tex]\stackrel{lim}{x\rightarrow\frac{\pi}{2}^-}(\frac{1}{cosx}-\frac{sinx}{cosx})[/tex]
=[tex]\stackrel{lim}{x\rightarrow\frac{\pi}{2}^-}(\frac{1-sinx}{cosx})[/tex] and I solved this down to =[tex]\stackrel{lim}{x\rightarrow\frac{\pi}{2}^-}tan(x)[/tex]
= undefined
I'm missing some steps in these problems. Any help from you is greatly appreciated!
