Homework Statement


I don't know how to find a limit, and it's bothering me for a few hours now.
Can someone help me?
j - imaginary unit

Homework Equations



[itex]\lim_{\rho \to 0}{\frac{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(-1+j)+\rho \exp(j\theta)}{(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(-1+j)+\rho \exp(j\theta))^2+ \sqrt2(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(-1+j)+\rho \exp(j\theta)))+1}}[/itex]

The Attempt at a Solution


Solution is:
[itex]∞ exp( \frac{∏}{4} - \theta)[/itex]

The denominator approaches 0 and the numerator doesn't. It doesn't have a limit.
 
To be exact...
[itex]\rho \rightarrow 0+[/itex]

The solution I've written is correct for sure.:)

Ok, let's write [itex]a=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} (-1+j)[/itex] and [itex]r=\rho exp( j \theta)[/itex] then your expression is [tex]\frac{a+r}{(a+r)^2+\sqrt{2} (a+r)+1}[/tex]
If you expand the denominator, and putting in the value for a, you get [tex]\frac{a+r}{r^2+j \sqrt{2} r}[/tex]
As ρ→0 you can ignore the r in the numerator and the r^2 in the denominator. Now you just have to express [tex]\frac{a}{j \sqrt{2} r}[/tex] as a magnitude and phase. Can you take it from there? It's not really a limit, it's a limiting behavior.
 
Thanks...it helped me:)
