Evaluate the limit of the function [(3+h)^2-9]/h, if h approaches to 0.

If we'll let h=o, we'll get f(0)
undefined.


Since h is cancelling the numerator, that means
that h is the root of the numerator.


We'll expand the
square from numerator and we'll get:


(3+h)^2 = 9 + 6h +
h^2


We'll subtract 9 both
sides:


(3+h)^2 - 9 = 6h +
h^2


We'll re-write the limit of the
function:


lim (6h + h^2)/h = lim
h(6+h)/h


lim h(6+h)/h = lim (6+h) = 6 + 0 =
6


The limit of the function, if h approaches
to 0, is lim [(3+h)^2-9]/h = 6.

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
