Math Gurus.. think you're good?

You'll need Maple or Mathematica for this.
Evaluate the limit x->0 f(x) to find sufficiently many terms in the Taylor series of the numerator and denominator.
f(x)= (sin(tan(x))-tan(sin(x)))/(arcsin(arctan(x))-arctan(arcsin(x)))

The command in maple goes something like taylor(f(x),x=a,n).
What do you use for a and n?

Didn't use Maple or Mathematica, but I get the limit as 2.

What, Matlab too grown up for you?

Maple says the limit is 1, but I need to solve it using taylor series.

What a lame way to get homework help. Challenging people? Please.

Evaluate f(x) with something close to 0, like x=.00001.

Really? Lame? Why are you responding you useless piece of crap? You know what's lame? You giving me your two cents about something that is "lame." Go masturbate.

Obviously. Don't you think I would be using mathlab if I could? Idiot.

LOL.

wow you got quite an attitude. in any case, a quick googling revealed that a is the center of the evaluation and n is the order of the evaluation

Thanks for stating the obvious, Sherlock. No, but seriously, you should consider a career in the detective field. You're really good at pointing out what is, clearly, not obvious to others. Maybe CIA work? I don't know.

it's Matlab, not mathlab.

lmao he just kicked your e-ass! lighten up dude, given it WAS sort of a jab, but damn.
