Limit without L'Hospital rule












0















The value of $$lim_{yrightarrow infty}y lnbigg(frac{sin(x+1/y)}{sin x}bigg), xin bigg(0,frac{pi}{2}bigg)$$




Try: Put $displaystyle y=frac{1}{z}$



So $$lim_{zrightarrow 0}lnbigg(frac{sin(x+z)}{sin x}bigg)cdot frac{1}{z}$$



$$ = lim_{zrightarrow 0}frac{ln(sin (x+z))-ln(sin x)}{z}$$



Using L'Hospital rule



$$lim_{zrightarrow 0}frac{cos(x+z)}{sin (x+z)}=cot x$$



Could some help me? How can I solve without L'Hospital rule? Thanks

          $displaystylelim_{yrightarrow infty}y lnbigg(frac{sin(x+1/y)}{sin x}bigg)=displaystylelim_{yrightarrow infty}y lnbigg(frac{sin(x)cos(1/y)+cos(x)sin(1/y)}{sin x}bigg)\=displaystylelim_{yrightarrow infty}y lnbigg(cos(1/y)+cot(x)sin(1/y)bigg)\=displaystylelim_{yrightarrow infty}y lnbigg(1+big[cos(1/y)+cot(x)sin(1/y)-1big]bigg)$



          Since $cos(1/y)+cot(x)sin(1/y)-1to0$ as $ytoinfty$, using the standard limit $displaystylelim_{mto0}frac{ln(1+m)}{m}=1$, we get



          $=displaystylelim_{yrightarrow infty}ybig(cos(1/y)+cot(x)sin(1/y)-1big)\=displaystylelim_{zto0^+}frac{cos z-1}z+cot(x)cdotlim_{zto0^+}frac{sin z}z$

          $displaystylelim_{zrightarrow 0}frac{ln(sin (x+z))-ln(sin x)}{z}$ is precisely the derivative of $ln(sin x)$ for $xinleft(0,dfrac{pi}{2}right)$using limits.

            Using the derivative is precisely using L'Hôpital's rule. Which the OP is requesting not to do.

          Beside the simple solution given by Yadati Kiran, you could use Taylor series
          $$frac{sin(x+z)}{sin (x)}=cot (x) sin (z)+cos (z)$$ Now, using the classical expansion of $sin(z)$ and $cos(z)$ you then have
          $$cot (x) sin (z)+cos (z)=1+z cot (x)-frac{z^2}{2}+Oleft(z^3right)$$ Continue with the logarithm to get
          $$log (cot (x) sin (z)+cos (z))=z cot (x)-frac{1}{2} z^2 left(cot ^2(x)+1right)+Oleft(z^3right)$$
          $$frac 1 z log (cot (x) sin (z)+cos (z))= cot (x)-frac{1}{2} z left(cot ^2(x)+1right)+Oleft(z^2right)$$ which shows the limit and also how it is approached.

            This is not a solution, more of a question.



            I get to



            1)$log left ( cos (1/y) +frac{sin (1/y)}{1/y}frac{cot x}{y}right )^y.$



            $y rightarrow infty : $



            Known:



            2) $lim_{y rightarrow infty} log (1+(cot x)/y)^y= cot x$.



            (Recall $lim_{y rightarrow infty}(1+a/y)^y= e^a$, $a$ real.)



            Is there a fairly straightforward way to get from 1)to 2) using limit manipulations ?



            Could not come up with a solution.



            Thanks






            share|cite|improve this answer























            • The way is not fairly straightforward but not that difficult either. Use the fact that if $f(y) >0$ and $y(f(y)-1) to 0$ as $ytoinfty $ then ${f(y)} ^yto 1$ as $yto infty$ (prove this!). Use $$f(y) =dfrac{cos(1/y)+sin(1/y)cot x} {1+dfrac{cot x} {y}} $$ and show that $y(f(y) - 1)to 0$ as $ytoinfty $.

            • Paramand.Thanks a lot. I'll go through your suggestions. Was intrigued by [(cos 1/y)^y](1+[(cos (1/y))^{-1}]sin(1/y)(1/y)^{-1}[(cos x)/y])^y, By multiplication rule can consider lim (cos 1/y)^y×lim(1+A(y)(cos x)/y)^y, where lim A(y)=1, could not handle this second limit .

              Using the derivative is precisely using L'Hôpital's rule. Which the OP is requesting not to do.

            • @mathcounterexamples.net: Not exactly (L'Hospital's Rule involves differentiation followed by a limit operation) but if one forbids L'Hospital's Rule then the implicit intention is to forbid derivatives as well.

            • You don't necessarily need to use L'Hospital's Rule at some stage. Just use basic limit laws and you get the desired answer.

            Beside the simple solution given by Yadati Kiran, you could use Taylor series
            $$frac{sin(x+z)}{sin (x)}=cot (x) sin (z)+cos (z)$$ Now, using the classical expansion of $sin(z)$ and $cos(z)$ you then have
            $$cot (x) sin (z)+cos (z)=1+z cot (x)-frac{z^2}{2}+Oleft(z^3right)$$ Continue with the logarithm to get
            $$log (cot (x) sin (z)+cos (z))=z cot (x)-frac{1}{2} z^2 left(cot ^2(x)+1right)+Oleft(z^3right)$$
            $$frac 1 z log (cot (x) sin (z)+cos (z))= cot (x)-frac{1}{2} z left(cot ^2(x)+1right)+Oleft(z^2right)$$ which shows the limit and also how it is approached.

                    This is not a solution, more of a question.



                    I get to



                    1)$log left ( cos (1/y) +frac{sin (1/y)}{1/y}frac{cot x}{y}right )^y.$



                    $y rightarrow infty : $



                    Known:



                    2) $lim_{y rightarrow infty} log (1+(cot x)/y)^y= cot x$.



                    (Recall $lim_{y rightarrow infty}(1+a/y)^y= e^a$, $a$ real.)



                    Is there a fairly straightforward way to get from 1)to 2) using limit manipulations ?



                    Could not come up with a solution.



                    Thanks

                    • The way is not fairly straightforward but not that difficult either. Use the fact that if $f(y) >0$ and $y(f(y)-1) to 0$ as $ytoinfty $ then ${f(y)} ^yto 1$ as $yto infty$ (prove this!). Use $$f(y) =dfrac{cos(1/y)+sin(1/y)cot x} {1+dfrac{cot x} {y}} $$ and show that $y(f(y) - 1)to 0$ as $ytoinfty $.
