S = x → 0 lim x 4 a − a 2 − x 2 − 4 x 2 = x → 0 lim x 4 a − a 1 − a 2 x 2 − 4 x 2 = x → 0 lim x 4 a − a 1 − 2 a 2 x 2 − 8 a 4 x 4 − O ( x 6 ) − 4 x 2 = x → 0 lim x 4 2 − 2 + 4 x 2 + 6 4 x 4 + O ( x 6 ) − 4 x 2 = x → 0 lim x 4 6 4 x 4 + O ( x 6 ) = x → 0 lim 1 6 4 1 + O ( x 2 ) = 6 4 1 By Maclaurin series Put a = 2 Divide up and down by x 4
⟹ a L = 6 4 2 = 0 . 0 3 1 2 5 ≈ 0 . 0 3
