Evaluating $lim_{xto0^+}frac{2x(sin...

$begingroup$


To start with, the term $xe^{-{1over x}}$ can be ignored.Then splitting the term $ln(frac{1+x^2}{1-x^2})=ln(1+x^2)-ln(1-x^2)$ and expanding both of them up to order 3 we have in the denominator $2x^2+{2x^6over 3}-2x^2={2x^6over3}$

As for the numerator $arctan(2x^3)sim2x^3$ and ${2x^7+x^8over 3x^2+x^4}sim{2over3}x^5$.So if we expand $sin x$ up to order 2,then take the square (ignoring higher order terms) and multiply by $2x$ we have $2x(sin x)^2sim2x^3-{2over3}x^5$ which cancels out with the other terms,giving us an indeterminate form.So I think we should have $x^6$ term in the numerator.

But if I expand $sin x$ up to order 3 and take square, I fail to obtain $x^5$ term(so that when multiplied by $2x$ gives me $x^6$).How can this be done?

The items below are called Taylor Series. This is a good way to reduce errors, in cases where L'Hospital's method leads to messy derivatives. One may take time and get each series correct. In this case, all the series derive from that for $$ frac{1}{1+t} = 1 - t + t^2 - t^3 + t^4 - t^5 cdots, $$ which leads fairly quickly to series for $1/(3+t),$ for $log(1+t),$ and for $arctan t$



$$ $$



To confirm the first step below, multiply the right hand side by $x^2 + 3$ and notice the cancellations:



$$ frac{1}{x^2 + 3} = frac{1}{3} - frac{x^2}{9} + frac{x^4}{27} - frac{x^6}{81} + cdots $$
$$ frac{1}{x^4 + 3x^2} = frac{1}{3x^2} - frac{1}{9} + frac{x^2}{27} - frac{x^4}{81} + cdots $$
$$ frac{x^8 + 2x^7}{x^4 + 3x^2} = frac{2x^5}{3} + frac{x^6}{3} - frac{2x^7}{9} - frac{x^8}{9} + cdots $$



$$ 2x sin^2 x = 2 x^3 - frac{2x^5}{3} + frac{4x^7}{45} - cdots $$
$$ arctan (2x^3) = 2 x^3 - frac{8x^9}{3} - cdots $$



The numerator is $$ frac{x^6}{3} - frac{2x^7}{15} + cdots $$
The denominator is $$ frac{2x^6}{3} + frac{2x^{10}}{5} + cdots $$

    @TuranNəsibli substitute $t = frac{x^2}{3}.$ That gives the series for $frac{3}{3+x^2},$ so you need to divide the whole thing by $3$ when you are otherwise done.

$begingroup$

You made a mistake by considering only the first asymptotic term of the algebraic fraction. Be careful:
$$frac{2x^5+x^6}{3+x^2}=frac{2}{3}x^5 + frac{1}{3}x^6 + o(x^6).$$
Then your limit gives $frac{1}{2}$, as results from the comment by JimB.

    I don't recall seeing anything like this throughout course.While simplifying the fraction I just neglected higher order terms both in numerator and denominator and obtained ${2over3}x^5$

  • $begingroup$
    @TuranNəsibli this only gives you dominant term, which cancels out with other terms in the overall numerator. In that case you must consider also what you had neglected before, as when you further develop the MacLaurin polynomial of sine or logarithm. By the way of course you'd obtain the same results taking derivatives, or as shown in another answer. I usually proceed as I showed you here.

    Exacly, you can use @WillJagy approach, which is very fine, of course. Or, as I showed you right above, here, by subracting dominant term to the original fraction.

$begingroup$

The Taylor series approach suggested by @Matteo and @WillJagy is the way to go. Here is that approach made a bit more explicit:




  1. Divide the numerator and denominator by x^6.

  2. Construct the resulting first order Taylor series for both numerator and denominator.

  3. Observe what the limits must be.


$$lim_{xto 0^+} , frac{-tan ^{-1}left(2 x^3right)+frac{(x+2) x^5}{x^2+3}+2 x sin ^2(x)}{x exp left(-frac{1}{x}right)-2 x^2+log left(frac{x^2+1}{1-x^2}right)}$$



$$lim_{xto 0^+} ,{ {(frac{1}{3}-frac{2 x}{15}+o(x^2) )}over{(frac{2}{3}+e^{-1/x}(frac{1}{x^5}+o(x^2)))}}=frac{1}{2}$$

    $$ 2x sin^2 x = 2 x^3 - frac{2x^5}{3} + frac{4x^7}{45} - cdots $$

    The numerator is $$ frac{x^6}{3} - frac{2x^7}{15} + cdots $$
    The denominator is $$ frac{2x^6}{3} + frac{2x^{10}}{5} + cdots $$

      How can we directly obtain Taylor series of $frac{1}{x^2+3}$ from $frac{1}{1+t}$?

      @TuranNəsibli substitute $t = frac{x^2}{3}.$ That gives the series for $frac{3}{3+x^2},$ so you need to divide the whole thing by $3$ when you are otherwise done.

    You made a mistake by considering only the first asymptotic term of the algebraic fraction. Be careful:
    $$frac{2x^5+x^6}{3+x^2}=frac{2}{3}x^5 + frac{1}{3}x^6 + o(x^6).$$
    Then your limit gives $frac{1}{2}$, as results from the comment by JimB.

      @TuranNəsibli this only gives you dominant term, which cancels out with other terms in the overall numerator. In that case you must consider also what you had neglected before, as when you further develop the MacLaurin polynomial of sine or logarithm. By the way of course you'd obtain the same results taking derivatives, or as shown in another answer. I usually proceed as I showed you here.

    The Taylor series approach suggested by @Matteo and @WillJagy is the way to go. Here is that approach made a bit more explicit:




    1. Divide the numerator and denominator by x^6.

    2. Construct the resulting first order Taylor series for both numerator and denominator.

    3. Observe what the limits must be.


    $$lim_{xto 0^+} , frac{-tan ^{-1}left(2 x^3right)+frac{(x+2) x^5}{x^2+3}+2 x sin ^2(x)}{x exp left(-frac{1}{x}right)-2 x^2+log left(frac{x^2+1}{1-x^2}right)}$$



    $$lim_{xto 0^+} ,{ {(frac{1}{3}-frac{2 x}{15}+o(x^2) )}over{(frac{2}{3}+e^{-1/x}(frac{1}{x^5}+o(x^2)))}}=frac{1}{2}$$



    Here is a plot of the function:
