| latex( (lim((sin(tan(x))-tan(sin(x)))/x^7,x=0))) returns the latex code of the answer ie -1/30 but I want the latex code of the limit unevaluated so that I can generate an image of the question from it. How can I do this? |
| You can produce latex code for the function you are taking a limit of and then just add the limit by hand: $\lim_{x \to 0}\frac{\sin\left(\tan\left(x\right)\right) - \tan\left(\sin\left(x\right)\right)}{x^{7}}$ By the way, some expressions in Sage take an optional parameter But the limit function doesn't take this parameter.
I don't know that any of our 'calculus' things do that yet, though certainly Maxima can with a prepended apostrophe. It's 'normal' functions that seem to allow that (via Pynac). Should we open a ticket for something like this? We get such unevaluated nounforms back from Maxima all the time for limits and integrals; Pynac usually can do something with derivatives.
