First of all note that the denominator can be replaced with just x n + 2 because x → 0 lim x sin ( x ) = 1 .
We shall use the taylor series expansion for sin ( x ) = x − 3 ! x 3 + 5 ! x 5 + . . . . . . .
So we have to evaluate:-
x → 0 lim x n + 2 x n − ( x − 3 ! x 3 + 5 ! x 5 + . . . . . . . ) n
Taking x n common from numerator and denominator we have:-
x → 0 lim x 2 1 − ( 1 − 3 ! x 2 + 5 ! x 4 + . . . . . . . ) n
Now expanding ( 1 − 3 ! x 2 + 5 ! x 4 + . . . . . . . ) n binomially we have :-
x → 0 lim x 2 1 − 1 + n ( 3 ! x 2 + 5 ! x 4 + . . . . ) + O ( x 4 )
So we have :-
3 ! n = 3 6 9
So n = 2 2 1 4
Here O ( . ) denotes the big O notation .
