Calculus Level 4

lim x 0 ( sin ( x ) tan ( 5 x ) × ( 1 cos ( 4 x ) ) ( 5 x 4 x ) x 3 ) = q r ln ( r t ) \lim_{x\rightarrow 0} \left(\dfrac{\sin(x)}{\tan(5x)}\times \dfrac{(1-\cos(4x))(5^x-4^x)}{x^3}\right) =\dfrac{\mathfrak{q}}{\mathfrak{r}}\ln\left(\dfrac{\mathfrak{r}}{\mathfrak{t}}\right)

The above equation is true for positive integers q \mathfrak{q} , r \mathfrak{r} and t \mathfrak{t} with r \mathfrak{r} and t \mathfrak{t} being coprime integers.

Find q + r + t \mathfrak{q}+\mathfrak{r}+\mathfrak{t} .


The answer is 17.

Given Limit will be lim x 0 ( 2 2 sin ( x ) x 2 sin 2 ( 2 x ) 2 2 x 2 ( ( 5 x 1 ) x ( 4 x 1 x ) tan ( 5 x ) ( 5 x ) ( 5 x ) ) = 8 5 ln ( 5 4 ) \displaystyle\lim_{x\rightarrow 0} \left(\dfrac{2^2\cdot\frac{\sin(x)}{x}\cdot2\cdot\frac{\sin^2(2x)}{2^2x^2}\left(\frac{(5^x-1)}{x}-\frac{(4^x-1}{x}\right)}{\frac{\tan(5x)}{(5x)}\cdot(5x)}\right)=\dfrac{8}{5}\ln\left(\dfrac{5}{4}\right)

So q = 8 , r = 5 , t = 4 \mathfrak{q}=8,\mathfrak{r}=5,\mathfrak{t}=4 their sum is 17 \boxed{17}

I have used the standard limits like lim f ( x ) 0 sin ( f ( x ) ) f ( x ) = lim f ( x ) 0 tan ( f ( x ) ) f ( x ) = 1 \displaystyle\lim_{f(x)\rightarrow0} \frac{\sin(f(x))}{f(x)}=\displaystyle\lim_{f(x)\rightarrow0} \frac{\tan(f(x))}{f(x)}=1 and lim f ( x ) 0 a f ( x ) 1 f ( x ) = ln ( a ) \displaystyle\lim_{f(x)\rightarrow0} \frac{a^{f(x)}-1}{f(x)} =\ln(a)

For limits approaching zero and mutliplication we can replace sinx = x , tanx = x

Doing this we get

8/5 (5^x - 4^x / x)

Apply L'Hospitals rule to get answer

Well actually i have done the the same thing as lim f ( x ) 0 sin ( f ( x ) ) f ( x ) = 1 \displaystyle\lim_{f(x)\rightarrow0} \frac{\sin(f(x))}{f(x)}=1 so as x tends to 0 sin(x) tends to x and also tan(x) tends to x,btw thanks for posting a solution.+1
