Answer:

\dfrac{-1}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the limit of a function expressed as \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{sin(x)-tan(x)}{x^3}, to evaluate the following steps must be carried out.

Step 1: substitute x = 0 into the function

= \dfrac{sin(0)-tan(0)}{0^3}\\= \frac{0}{0} (indeterminate)

Step 2: Apply  L'Hôpital's rule, by differentiating the numerator and denominator of the function

= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{\frac{d}{dx}[ sin(x)-tan(x)]}{\frac{d}{dx} (x^3)}\\= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{cos(x)-sec^2(x)}{3x^2}\\

Step 3: substitute x = 0 into the resulting function

= \dfrac{cos(0)-sec^2(0)}{3(0)^2}\\= \frac{1-1}{0}\\= \frac{0}{0} (ind)

Step 4: Apply  L'Hôpital's rule, by differentiating the numerator and denominator of the resulting function in step 2

= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{\frac{d}{dx}[ cos(x)-sec^2(x)]}{\frac{d}{dx} (3x^2)}\\= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{-sin(x)-2sec^2(x)tan(x)}{6x}\\

=  \dfrac{-sin(0)-2sec^2(0)tan(0)}{6(0)}\\= \frac{0}{0} (ind)

Step 6: Apply  L'Hôpital's rule, by differentiating the numerator and denominator of the resulting function in step 4

= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{\frac{d}{dx}[ -sin(x)-2sec^2(x)tan(x)]}{\frac{d}{dx} (6x)}\\= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{[ -cos(x)-2(sec^2(x)sec^2(x)+2sec^2(x)tan(x)tan(x)]}{6}\\\\= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{[ -cos(x)-2(sec^4(x)+2sec^2(x)tan^2(x)]}{6}\\

Step 7: substitute x = 0 into the resulting function in step 6

=  \dfrac{[ -cos(0)-2(sec^4(0)+2sec^2(0)tan^2(0)]}{6}\\\\= \dfrac{-1-2(0)}{6} \\= \dfrac{-1}{6}

<em>Hence the limit of the function </em>\lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{sin(x)-tan(x)}{x^3} \  is \ \dfrac{-1}{6}.

How do you write 7 29/80 (mixed number) to a decimal?
Finger [1]
A fraction can be viewed as a division problem, and a mixed number can be viewed as an addition problem. So,
7 29/80 can be read as:

7+29÷80

Follow the order of operations and you'll have your decimal.

7+29÷80
7+0.3625
