AI Thread Summary
The limit of x^(sinx) as x approaches 0 from the positive side is confirmed to be 1. For the second limit, (9^x)/(8^x) simplifies to (9/8)^x, which is greater than 1. As x approaches infinity, (9/8)^x diverges to infinity since the base is greater than 1. Understanding the behavior of exponential functions based on their bases is crucial for solving such limits. The discussion emphasizes the simplicity of these limit calculations when the properties of exponents are applied correctly.

Hello, I have two questions concerning limits

1) lim x-> 0+ x^(sinx)
2) lim x-> +inf. (9^x)/(8^x)

The first one gives me 1 (e^0 = 1) .. is that correct?
The 2nd one I don't know how to do. Can someone please explain the 2nd one for me?
Thanks a lot

1) Correct

2) (9^x)/(8^x) = (9/8)^x and 9/8 > 1. How does a^x behave if a<1, a=1, a>1 ?

I knew it was that simple! Thanks for the help :)
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
