Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around evaluating a limit involving trigonometric functions and parameters, specifically as one parameter approaches another. The subject area is calculus, focusing on limits and potentially the application of L'Hôpital's Rule and factoring techniques.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants express uncertainty about how to start the problem and mention feeling rusty on limits. There are attempts to recall calculus techniques, including L'Hôpital's Rule and factoring, but these approaches are not yielding results. Some participants seek hints on how to approach the limit.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants sharing their struggles and seeking guidance. There is a request for clarification on the techniques used, indicating a collaborative effort to identify potential errors or misunderstandings in their approaches.

Contextual Notes

Participants mention being rusty on limits and express a need for foundational support in calculus techniques, suggesting that they may be working under constraints related to their current understanding or coursework requirements.

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.
