Evaluate the limit of sin x + cos x, if x->pi/3?

We'll evaluate the limit of the sum of the functions sine
and cosine in this way;


lim (sin x + cos x) = lim sin x +
lim cos x, x-> pi/3


We'll substitute x by the value
of pi/3 and we'll get:


lim sin x + lim cos x = lim sin pi/3
+ lim cos pi/3


sin pi/3 =
sqrt3/2


cos pi/3 = 1/2


lim sin
x + lim cos x = lim sqrt3/2 + lim 1/2


The limit of a
constant function is the value of the constant:


lim sin x +
lim cos x = sqrt3/2 + 1/2


lim (sin x + cos x)
= (sqrt3 + 1)/2

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
