done

 

Wait... your high school has started classes already?


yeah its been 2 weeks already. :( i really need to boost up my studying over limits.

I was wondering if you could do this for me and explain. I just don't understand the last part where it says hospital rule. Thanks a lot for such a favor.

I used those two trigo identity: 1+ tan^2(x)= sec^2(x)

                                                        sec(x)= 1/cos(x) so sec^2(x)= 1^2/cos^2(x)= 1/cos^2(x)

lim x->0 tan^2(x)/x = lim x->0 (sec^2(x)-1)/x

lim x->0 [sec^2(x)]/x  - 1/x = lim x->0 [1/cos^2(x)]/x - 1/x = lim x->0 1/xcos^2(x) - 1/x  using the hospital rule you get lim x->0 0/something - 0/1 = 0
