Homework Statement



lim t3/tan32t
t->0

The Attempt at a Solution



I am stuck I have a lot of trouble with trig identities

Do you know L'hôpital's rule? That might be the easiest way. If not, rewrite tan2t as sin2t/cos2t first. cos(2*0) won't cause a problem, but the t and sin2t will. See if you can get it to look like sin2t/t.
 
lim= 2*t*2*t*2*t*cos32t/2*sin2t*2*sin2t*2*sin2t\


so all the 2*t cancel the sin2t leaving cos32t/2*2*2 so limit=1/6

is this correct??
 
2*2*2=8, not 6. :wink:
 
haha you wow. :)
 

Thread 'Finding the nth roots of a complex number'

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...
