\infty is it?

Calculus Level 4

If the fundamental period of sin 2 m x k \sin^{2m} x \sqrt{k} is π \pi , where m m is a positive integer, then what is lim n k n \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} k^n ?

1 0 \infty Cannot be determined None e 2.718 e \approx 2.718

We know that period of sin 2 x \text{sin}^2x is π \pi and that of f ( k x ) f(kx) where k is a constant is T k \large\displaystyle \frac{T}{k} where T \text{T} is the time period of f ( x ) f(x) .

So, period of sin 2 m x \text{sin}^{2m}x is π \pi and that of sin 2 m x k \large \text{sin}^{2m}x\sqrt{k} is π k \large \dfrac{\pi}{\sqrt{k}}

Since it is given that period is π \pi ,

π k = π k = 1 \large \dfrac{\pi}{\sqrt{k}}=\pi \Rightarrow k=1

lim n 1 n = 1 \displaystyle \lim_{n\to∞}1^n=1 .

Note that, it is not e because it is defined as lim x ( 1 + 1 x ) x = e \displaystyle \large \lim_{x\to∞}(1+\frac{1}{x})^x=e

nice solution...+1

Thank you..

Hm, you might want to add in that it's the fundamental period , since otherwise many other values of k k would work.
