Key Concepts and Formulas
- Trigonometric Identities: The fundamental identity 1−cos2(θ)=sin2(θ) will be used.
- Standard Limits:
- limθ→0θsin(θ)=1
- limθ→0θtan(θ)=1
- limθ→0θ21−cos(θ)=21
- limθ→0θloge(1+θ)=1
- Limit Properties: The limit of a product is the product of the limits (provided they exist), and the limit of a quotient is the quotient of the limits (provided the denominator's limit is not zero).
Step-by-Step Solution
Let the given limit be L.
L=limx→0((cos3(4x)1−cos2(3x))((loge(2x+1))5sin3(4x)))
Step 1: Simplify the trigonometric part using the identity 1−cos2(θ)=sin2(θ).
We observe the term 1−cos2(3x) in the numerator of the first fraction. Applying the identity, we get 1−cos2(3x)=sin2(3x).
L=limx→0((cos3(4x)sin2(3x))((loge(2x+1))5sin3(4x)))
Step 2: Rearrange the terms to group related functions and prepare for standard limits.
We want to use the standard limits limθ→0θsin(θ)=1 and limθ→0θloge(1+θ)=1. To do this, we need to introduce appropriate terms in the denominator.
We can rewrite the expression as:
L=limx→0((3x)2sin2(3x)⋅(3x)2⋅cos3(4x)1⋅(4x)3sin3(4x)⋅(4x)3⋅(2xloge(2x+1)⋅2x)51)
Let's rearrange this further to group terms that will approach 1:
L=limx→0(((3x)2sin2(3x))⋅((4x)3sin3(4x))⋅(2xloge(2x+1))51⋅cos3(4x)⋅(2x)5(3x)2⋅(4x)3)
Step 3: Evaluate the limits of the standard forms.
We have the following limits:
- limx→0(3xsin(3x))2=(limx→03xsin(3x))2=12=1.
- limx→0(4xsin(4x))3=(limx→04xsin(4x))3=13=1.
- limx→0(2xloge(2x+1))5=(limx→02xloge(2x+1))5=15=1.
- limx→0cos(4x)=cos(0)=1. Therefore, limx→0cos3(4x)=13=1.
Step 4: Simplify the remaining algebraic terms.
Now we need to evaluate the limit of the remaining algebraic part:
limx→0cos3(4x)⋅(2x)5(3x)2⋅(4x)3
Let's expand the powers:
(3x)2=9x2
(4x)3=64x3
(2x)5=32x5
So the expression becomes:
limx→0cos3(4x)⋅32x59x2⋅64x3=limx→032⋅x5⋅cos3(4x)9⋅64⋅x5
We can cancel out x5 from the numerator and denominator:
limx→032⋅cos3(4x)9⋅64
Since limx→0cos3(4x)=1, the limit of this part is:
32⋅19⋅64=9⋅3264=9⋅2=18
Step 5: Combine the limits of all parts.
Now, we multiply the limits of all the grouped parts:
L=(limx→0(3xsin(3x))2)⋅(limx→0(4xsin(4x))3)⋅(limx→0(2xloge(2x+1))51)⋅(limx→0cos3(4x)⋅(2x)5(3x)2⋅(4x)3)
L=(1)⋅(1)⋅(11)⋅(18)
L=1⋅1⋅1⋅18=18
Common Mistakes & Tips
- Incorrectly Applying Standard Limits: Ensure that the argument of the trigonometric function or logarithm matches the denominator exactly. For example, xsin(3x) needs to be multiplied by 3 to become 3xsin(3x)⋅3.
- Algebraic Errors: Be careful when simplifying powers of x and coefficients. Errors in cancellation or multiplication can lead to the wrong numerical answer.
- Forgetting the cos3(4x) term: The cos3(4x) term in the denominator of the first fraction does not go to zero as x→0, so it should be handled as part of the algebraic simplification, not as a limit that needs manipulation like θ21−cos(θ).
Summary
The problem requires evaluating a limit involving trigonometric functions and logarithms. We first simplify the expression using the identity 1−cos2(θ)=sin2(θ). Then, we strategically rearrange the terms to utilize the standard limits limθ→0θsin(θ)=1 and limθ→0θloge(1+θ)=1. By introducing appropriate powers of x in the numerator and denominator, we create these standard forms. The remaining algebraic terms are simplified by canceling out powers of x and evaluating the limit of cos3(4x) as x→0. Multiplying the limits of all the individual parts yields the final answer.
The final answer is 18.
