I have checked with the fx-570ES plus (calculator) and it give the answer: 0
Thanks For the question @Pi Han Goh !! Enjoyed solving it. :)
Hi Jatin! Great solution......After finding the limit , I plotted this particular function on the plotting calculator and found that on zooming near x = 0 ...the function didint seem to have a limit there. You can check it out by visiting fooplot.com .
Superb.
awesome
good....
Good solution!
I have done the same way
hey can you please elaborate the second step . I didn't got it.
Why is this different than evaluating x 6 1 − x 2 x − 1 − x 3 ?

I tried doing this but when I expand it, I end up with the same series (for the first 3 terms) but with an extra x 5 term. Am I wrong in thinking since x → ∞ lim x sin ( x ) = 1 that we can substitute x = sin ( x ) as x tends 0?
cos x = 1 − x 2 .
The one who created this question was awesome! 5 expansions in 1 question..Cool solution too!
did it the same way just in place of finding the expansion of sqrt(1-x^(3)) rationalized it nice one @Pi Han Goh sir
How x^6/8 will come?
I will omit the notation O ( x 7 ) and even " ⋯ " to denote higher powers than x 6 , and even the limit sign.
x 6 1 [ cos x sin x − 1 − x 3 ]
= x 6 1 [ ( 1 − x 2 / 2 + x 4 / 2 4 − x 6 / 7 2 0 ) sin x − 1 − x 3 ]
= x 6 1 [ ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( sin x choose k ) ( − x 2 / 2 + x 4 / 2 4 − x 6 / 7 2 0 ) k − ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( 0 . 5 choose k ) ( − x 3 ) k ]
= x 6 1 [ 1 + sin x ( − x 2 / 2 + x 4 / 2 4 ) + ( 1 / 2 ) sin x ( sin x − 1 ) ( x 4 / 4 ) − ( 1 − 0 . 5 x 3 − 0 . 1 2 5 x 6 ) ]
= x 6 1 [ 1 + ( x − x 3 / 6 ) ( − x 2 / 2 + x 4 / 2 4 ) + ( 1 / 2 ) x ( x − 1 ) ( x 4 / 4 ) − ( 1 − 0 . 5 x 3 − 0 . 1 2 5 x 6 ) ]
= x 6 1 [ 1 + ( − x 3 / 2 + x 5 / 2 4 + x 5 / 1 2 ) + ( x 6 / 8 − x 5 / 8 ) − ( 1 − 0 . 5 x 3 − 0 . 1 2 5 x 6 ) ]
= x 6 1 [ ( 1 − x 3 / 2 + x 6 / 8 ) − ( 1 − 0 . 5 x 3 − 0 . 1 2 5 x 6 ) ]
= x 6 1 [ x 6 / 4 ]
= 4 1
thank you for your solution! =D
I used L Hospital rule,it gives the answer but the procedure is very long and time taking.
It was my first approach too but after finding the third derivative of the numerator I was pretty sure that at the sixth derivative the numerator would be much more complex and calculating it would take hours.
I doubt that will work. Can you show your working? Thanks.

First Consider sin x ln ( cos x ) = ( x − 3 ! x 3 + 5 ! x 5 … ) ( ln ( 1 − 2 ! x 2 + 4 ! x 4 … ) )
= ( x − 3 ! x 3 + 5 ! x 5 … ) ( − 2 ! x 2 + 4 ! x 4 ⋯ − ( 1 − 2 ! x 2 + 4 ! x 4 … ) 2 … )
= − 2 x 3 − 8 0 x 7 …
Hence, ( cos x ) sin x = e sin x ln ( cos x ) = e − 2 x 3 − 8 0 x 7 …
= 1 − 2 x 3 − 8 0 x 7 ⋯ + ( − 2 x 3 − 8 0 x 7 … ) 2 … = 1 − 2 x 3 + 8 x 6 …
Also, using 1 − x = 1 − 2 x − 8 x 2 … , 1 − x 3 = 1 − 2 x 3 − 8 x 6 …
∴ x → 0 lim x 6 ( cos x ) ( sin x ) − 1 − x 3
= x → 0 lim x 6 ( 1 − 2 x 3 + 8 x 6 … ) − ( 1 − 2 x 3 − 8 x 6 … )
= x → 0 lim x 6 4 x 6 … = 4 1
