Click For Summary
The limit of the expression as x approaches infinity is evaluated as follows: The original limit, $\lim_{x\to \infty}\dfrac{e^{3x}-e^{-3x}}{e^{3x}+e^{-3x}}$, simplifies by multiplying the numerator and denominator by $e^{3x}$. This leads to $\lim_{x \to \infty} \left( \frac{e^{6x} - 1}{e^{6x} + 1} \right)$, which further simplifies to $1 - \frac{2}{e^{6x} + 1}$. As x approaches infinity, the term $\frac{2}{e^{6x} + 1}$ approaches zero, resulting in a final limit of 1. The discussion highlights the usefulness of rewriting exponential expressions for easier evaluation.

Evaluate
$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to \infty}\dfrac{e^{3x}-e^{-3x}}{e^{3x}+e^{-3x}}$

sorry I'm clueless with this e stuff:(

If you find e hard, then rewrite $$e^{3x} = t$$. Now t is approaching infinity, and no more e's in this problem.

$\displaystyle \begin{align*} \lim_{x \to \infty} \left( \frac{\mathrm{e}^{3\,x} - \mathrm{e}^{-3\,x}}{\mathrm{e}^{3x} + \mathrm{e}^{-3\,x}} \right) &= \lim_{x \to \infty} \left[ \left( \frac{\mathrm{e}^{3\,x} - \mathrm{e}^{-3\,x}}{\mathrm{e}^{3x} + \mathrm{e}^{-3\,x}} \right) \left( \frac{\mathrm{e}^{3\,x}}{\mathrm{e}^{3\,x}} \right) \right] \\ &= \lim_{x \to \infty} \left( \frac{\mathrm{e}^{6\,x} - 1}{\mathrm{e}^{6\,x} + 1} \right) \\ &= \lim_{x \to \infty} \left( 1 - \frac{2}{\mathrm{e}^{6\,x} + 1} \right) \\ &= 1 - 0 \\ &= 1 \end{align*}$
 
well that was interesting a very helpfull
I have a few more coming up but will start a new post
 
Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
