Find the limit (if it exists). (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
lim t → 0
e^9t i + (Sin(4t))/(4t) j + e^(-5t) k

My approach was to plug in 0 and get i+k but that didn't go through with webassign. So I tried the DNE answer because maybe since the y could be undefined, the whole thing is, but that was wrong. So lastely I punched it into my calculator, got the decimal answer and that didn't work for i + (decimal) j + k.

Does anyone know how to solve for the limit?

The only tricky one here is the limit for the j coordinate,
\lim_{t \to 0} \frac{sin(4t)}{4t}

This is related to the following well-known limit from calculus,
\lim_{t \to 0} \frac{sin(t)}{t} = 1
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
