    Solving a limit by l'hopital's rule

    Thanks alot... problem solved! turns out there was no need for e and ln...\Edit: a new question came to my mind, about the natural log, when we take natural log of both sides like imagine : x+x = x^2 +x -2 or anything you can make up if i take natural log of both sides is it ln(x+x) =...

    Solving a limit by l'hopital's rule

    So, according to answer sheet, the answer is 1... The question is : limit as x approaches infinity of : squareroot( x^2 + x ) - squareroot( x^2 - x) I tried to put it in a limit calculator, but the steps shown are very complex and don't even involve l'hopital's rule... I think the solution...

    Questions on Trigonometric equation solving

    Ok, so it will become : x= tan^-1 [squareroot(1/3)] Now what do I need to memorize in order to know what tan inverse of squareroot of 1/3 is? I remember there was some sort of way to memorize these things but I don't remember what it was.

    Questions on Trigonometric equation solving

    Sorry, I made another mistake in writing down the question, but here are my steps : 1- take sin^2 to the other side 2-divide by cos^2 x, the cos^2 x on one side cancels out and becomes 1 , and the sin^2 x on the other side becomes tan^2 x 3- so now we have : 1 = 3 tan^2 (x) 1/3 = (tan...

    Questions on Trigonometric equation solving

    "I would suggest moving (-3sin(2x)) to the other side of the equals-sign and then try to remember all the trig functions." Sorry, I made a mistake writing the original question, both sin and cosine were squared, as you can now see in the edited version. However, after moving one to the other...

    Questions on Trigonometric equation solving

    Hello reader, I have an exam really soon and it includes a good bit of trigonometry, but I'm having problems with the trig stuff because this exam does not allow calculators and since I was dependent on the calculator, I haven't memorized anything about the trigonometric functions. I don't know...

    How long will the petroleum industry be profitable?

    As we can see now, oil prices are falling pretty forcefully, and it seems like they are heading for $30. Now of course a lot of people ask: "when will petroleum collapse?" And they usually mean due to renewable, sustainable, and nuclear energy for electricity and cars. The "more knowledgeable"...

    Trying to self-learn calculus but stuck on this idea

    Thanks everyone for the amazing replies! I have to stop self-studying calculus for a while now that exams are here, but I will definitely check them out after the exams are done and try to get the most out of them.
