Homework Statement


##\lim_{\alpha\to\omega}-\frac{\alpha r_0}{\omega(\omega^{2}-\alpha^{2})}\sin(\omega t)+\frac{r_0}{\omega^{2}-\alpha^{2}}\sin(\alpha t)##

Homework Equations


I feel I will need to use fact ##\frac{d}{d\omega}\sin(\omega t)=t\cos(\omega t)##

The Attempt at a Solution

Nope not sure how to start this one I'm rusty on limitis as it is and basic idea of trying l hopitals rule or factoring tricks are not working. Thanks for any help

Show us what you did, so we can point out if you made some errors. (Hint: you must have made some.)

Yeah I need a hint how to even approach this limit because my calculus 1 techniques are not really going anywhere

Show us the calculus 1 techniques you used, so we can see why you say they are not going anywhere.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
