MHB [ASK] Limit of Trigonometry Function

AI Thread Summary
The limit of the trigonometric function given is evaluated as $$\lim_{x\to0}\frac{sin2x+sin6x+sin10x-sin18x}{3sinx-sin3x}$$. Initial attempts using substitution or L'Hôpital's rule yield an indeterminate form of $$\frac{0}{0}$$. Further simplification leads to the third derivative, resulting in a final answer of 192. The calculation confirms that the limit can be resolved through repeated application of L'Hôpital's rule. Thus, the correct answer is 192.

$$\lim_{x\to0}\frac{sin2x+sin6x+sin10x-sin18x}{3sinx-sin3x=}$$
A. 0
B. 45
C. 54
D. 192
E. 212

Either substituting or using L'Hopital gives $$\frac00$$. Is there any way to simplify it and make the result a real number?

We can repeat L'Hôpital until it's not $\frac 0 0$ any more.
 
Ah, I see. It's in the third derivative and the answer is $$\frac{4,608}{24}$$= 192, right?

Yep. (Nod)
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
