Re: Limit of a trig function
Hi bmwilly;
One way is, since this is of the form 0 / 0, is to use L'Hospitals rule on it.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
