Homework Statement



lim 2x/(sin3x)
x-> 0

Homework Equations



lim sinx/x = 1
x->0

The Attempt at a Solution



is it correct to say the following:

lim 2/3 (sinx/x)
x-> 0

lim 2/3 (1)
x-> 0

Answer: lim 2x/sin3x = 2/3
x-> 0

Because it's on the book:
cos 2x(2)/3 = 2/3
x->0

So I want to know if I solve it the way I did before, would it be correct?

lim 2/3 sin(x)/x is zero at x=0, but 2x/sin(3x) is not the same as (2/3)sin(x)/x.

Rewrite 2x/sin(3x) as 2/3 (3x)/sin(3x).

Thanks! Got it! =)
 
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...
