Have Fun with Limits

Calculus Level 5

lim x 0 x 2 2 + 1 1 + x 2 ( cos ( x ) e x 2 ) sin ( x 2 ) = ? \large \lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\frac{\frac{x^{2}}{2}+1-\sqrt{1+x^{2}}}{(\cos{(x)}-e^{x^{2}})\sin (x^{2})} = \ ?

Give your answer to 3 significant figures.

Here is another solution that uses limit laws and L'Hospital's rule.

Moderator note:

How did you know that the "right" thing to consider was x 2 cos x e x 2 \frac{ x^2} { \cos x - e ^ { x^2 } } , as opposed to say x 3 cos x e x 2 \frac{ x^3} { \cos x - e ^ { x^2 } } ?

becauseof the power of e^x^2 . this step is quite elementary and useful if you are tryin to solve limit quickly

Good that we have another two solutions! This one is without expansion nor L'H : ) :) .

P.S. It was a problem from my notebook -- Ignore the Chinese words.

Good handwriting dear !

what you do ?
