An Elusive Limit Question 6: Subtracting Nearly Identical Numbers can BREAK Calculators! https://youtu.be/GEfzOVaPwAE
In this video I explain that the reason calculators gave an unclear limit for the complicated trigonometric function is because every term was nearly identical, to the point where subtracting them resulted in a difference too small for the precision of most calculators.
