Just checking my answer. Any cool Calculus people?

Wait, I though you couldn't divide by 0.

it's a limit

That's because as x approaches very small values (it's not touching zero here), the value of sin x almost equals x. And x/x = 1.

Well, today I had my midterm for Calculus.    I did take calculus last year, but I'm taking it again as a refresher.

Anyhow, one of the problems was




Sin(0)=0, so it would turn to

Sin(0)
______
0


But, I forget the exact reason but I remember, sin(x)/x always equals 1, so I put 1 for my answer.  I'm sure that's right, I'm just making sure I didn't intercourse  up.

You need to find a way to get the x out of the bottom.  If you are getting something with 0 as a denominator, you aren't doing it right and need to go back and do more work.

I've never heard the words 'cool' and 'calculus' in the same sentence before.

Kids at my school take math very seriously unfortunately, my math class almost had a fight in it over math league...:x

Where do you go to school at? Nerd U?

Calculus. Oh, calculus. I'll be having three more semesters of calculus, oh joy! And I'll be taking two semesters of physics somewhere in there too...

Ah, the joy of being an engineer. :P

[Termanian_Knight]

Ah, the joy of being an engineer. :P

Nice. :D

Majoring in any specific engineering department?

Right now the plan is computer engineering, but I may just settle for electrical. Since computer engineering is just a sub-category of electrical.
