Okay, ThegirlGodishelping🥰💙🫠, let's solve these two problems.

4. Compute

lim⁡x→0(2x2−3x+4x+5x−4x)\lim_{x \to 0} \left( \frac{2x^2 - 3x + 4}{x} + \frac{5x - 4}{x} \right)
  1. Combine the fractions since they have a common denominator.

    lim⁡x→0((2x2−3x+4)+(5x−4)x)\lim_{x \to 0} \left( \frac{(2x^2 - 3x + 4) + (5x - 4)}{x} \right)
  2. Simplify the numerator.

    lim⁡x→0(2x2−3x+5x+4−4x)\lim_{x \to 0} \left( \frac{2x^2 - 3x + 5x + 4 - 4}{x} \right) lim⁡x→0(2x2+2xx)\lim_{x \to 0} \left( \frac{2x^2 + 2x}{x} \right)
  3. Factor out xx from the numerator and cancel it with the denominator.

    Since x→0x \to 0, but x≠0x \neq 0, we can cancel xx.

    lim⁡x→0(x(2x+2)x)\lim_{x \to 0} \left( \frac{x(2x + 2)}{x} \right) lim⁡x→0(2x+2)\lim_{x \to 0} (2x + 2)
  4. Substitute x=0x=0 into the simplified expression.

    2(0)+2=22(0) + 2 = 2

    The final answer is 2\boxed{2}.

    5. Integrate and find an exact simplified value for

    ∫π/6π/3(1+cot⁡2x)sec⁡2x dx\int_{\pi/6}^{\pi/3} (1+\cot^2 x)\sec^2 x\,dx
  5. Simplify the integrand using trigonometric identities.

    Recall the identity 1+cot⁡2x=csc⁡2x1+\cot^2 x = \csc^2 x.
    So the integrand becomes:

    csc⁡2xsec⁡2x\csc^2 x \sec^2 x

    Now, express csc⁡2x\csc^2 x and sec⁡2x\sec^2 x in terms of sin⁡x\sin x and cos⁡x\cos x:

    1sin⁡2x⋅1cos⁡2x=1sin⁡2xcos⁡2x\frac{1}{\sin^2 x} \cdot \frac{1}{\cos^2 x} = \frac{1}{\sin^2 x \cos^2 x}

    We know that sin⁡(2x)=2sin⁡xcos⁡x\sin(2x) = 2\sin x \cos x. Squaring both sides gives sin⁡2(2x)=4sin⁡2xcos⁡2x\sin^2(2x) = 4\sin^2 x \cos^2 x.
    Therefore, sin⁡2xcos⁡2x=14sin⁡2(2x)\sin^2 x \cos^2 x = \frac{1}{4}\sin^2(2x).
    Substitute this back into the integrand:

    114sin⁡2(2x)=4sin⁡2(2x)=4csc⁡2(2x)\frac{1}{\frac{1}{4}\sin^2(2x)} = \frac{4}{\sin^2(2x)} = 4\csc^2(2x)
  6. Integrate the simplified expression.

    We need to find ∫4csc⁡2(2x) dx\int 4\csc^2(2x)\,dx.
    Let u=2xu = 2x, so du=2 dxdu = 2\,dx, which means dx=12 dudx = \frac{1}{2}\,du.

    ∫4csc⁡2(u)(12) du=2∫csc⁡2(u) du\int 4\csc^2(u) \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\,du = 2\int \csc^2(u)\,du

    The integral of csc⁡2u\csc^2 u is −cot⁡u-\cot u.

    =−2cot⁡u+C=−2cot⁡(2x)+C= -2\cot u + C = -2\cot(2x) + C
  7. Apply the limits of integration.

    [−2cot⁡(2x)]π/6π/3\left[ -2\cot(2x) \right]_{\pi/6}^{\pi/3}
  8. Evaluate the expression at the upper and lower limits.

    At the upper limit x=π3x = \frac{\pi}{3}:

    −2cot⁡(2⋅π3)=−2cot⁡(2π3)-2\cot\left(2 \cdot \frac{\pi}{3}\right) = -2\cot\left(\frac{2\pi}{3}\right)

    We know cot⁡(2π3)=−13\cot\left(\frac{2\pi}{3}\right) = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}.

    =−2(−13)=23= -2\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right) = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}

    At the lower limit x=π6x = \frac{\pi}{6}:

    −2cot⁡(2⋅π6)=−2cot⁡(π3)-2\cot\left(2 \cdot \frac{\pi}{6}\right) = -2\cot\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)

    We know cot⁡(π3)=13\cot\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}.

    =−2(13)=−23= -2\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right) = -\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}
  9. Subtract the lower limit value from the upper limit value.

    23−(−23)=23+23=43\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} - \left(-\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right) = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} + \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}

    To rationalize the denominator, multiply by 33\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}:

    43⋅33=433\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{4\sqrt{3}}{3}

    The final answer is 433\boxed{\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{3}}.
