    Limits
In summary, the given problem is to evaluate the limit as x approaches 0 of [sqroot(tan3x)+srroot(sin2x)]/sqroot(tan2x) without using L'Hospital's Rule. The final answer is sqrt3/2 + 1. To solve this problem, the approach is to divide it into two separate limits and use trigonometric angle sum identities. The operations should be within the square roots to simplify the expression.

ok tried it, but I am having trouble b/c of the sqr root

[tex] \lim_{x\to 0} \frac{\sqrt{tan3x}+\sqrt{sin2x}}{\sqrt{tan2x}}
= \lim_{x\to 0} \left \sqrt{\frac{tan3x}{tan2x}} +\sqrt{\frac{sin2x}{tan2x}} [/tex]

so all the operations should be within the sqrt's

1. What is the first step in evaluating the given limit?

The first step is to substitute the given value for x into the given expression.

2. How do I simplify the expression before evaluating the limit?

You can use trigonometric identities, such as sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1, to simplify the expression.

3. What should I do if the given expression is indeterminate?

If the expression is indeterminate, you may need to use L'Hopital's rule or another method to evaluate the limit.

4. Can I use a calculator to evaluate the limit?

It is best to evaluate the limit by hand to better understand the concept, but a calculator can be used to check your answer.

5. How do I know if my answer is correct?

You can check your answer by plugging in the given value for x and simplifying the expression. If the result matches your answer, then it is correct.
