Using Partial Limit












2












$begingroup$


$$lim_{x to 0} cos(pi/2cos(x))/x^2$$



I tried to evaluate the limit this way,



$$lim_{x to 0} cos(pi/2cdot1)/x^2$$ since $cos0=1$



$$lim_{x to 0} cos(pi/2cdot1)/x^2=lim_{x to 0} 0/x^2$$



Now apply L'Hospital's Rule twice,



$$lim_{x to 0} 0/2(x)=lim_{x to 0} 0/2=0$$



So,this way the answer is zero.



Can you please explain where am I doing wrong?



I will be thankful for help!

    You can't simply plug 0 into parts. Take $limlimits_{xto0}frac xx$ for example. Plugging 0 into the numerator implies the limit should be 0, but clearly the limit is 1.

When both the numerator and denominator are zero, you have to differentiate both of them to obtain the correct limit. You can't straightly make the numerator $0$. Think about it, if you have
$$lim_{xrightarrow0}frac{2x}{3x}$$
, and you make the numerator zero and differentiate the denominator, you will get zero, which clearly isn't correct.



What I suggest is that you differentiate both the numerator and the denominator to get
$$lim_{xrightarrow0}frac{pisin(x)sin(pi/2cos(x))}{4x}$$
Now differentiate again, and you get
$$lim_{xrightarrow0}frac{pileft[cos(x)sin(pi/2cos(x))-pi/2sin(x)(cos(pi/2cos(x)))right]}{4}=frac{pi}{4}$$

    Nikolas did a pretty good job explaining when it is safe to replace the values. Yes, when the denominator becomes zero, you don't want to replace the value. In this question, the denominator is zero, so you can't just replace the value. You would instead do L'Hospital or some other manipulations as presented in other answers posted here.

Hint



Compose Taylor series
$$cos(x)=1-frac{x^2}{2}+Oleft(x^4right)$$
$$cos left(frac{pi}{2} cos (x)right)=sin left(frac{pi }{4}x^2+Oleft(x^4right)right)$$ The next step is simple.

    $begingroup$

    Using $frac{1-cos(x)}{2}=sin^2(x/2)$ and $lim_{tto 0}frac{sin(t)}{t}=1$, we can write



    $$begin{align}
    frac{cosleft(fracpi2 cos(x)right)}{x^2}&=frac{sinleft(pi sin^2(x/2)right)}{x^2}\\
    &=fracpi4underbrace{left(frac{sin(x/2)}{x/2}right)^2}_{to1,,text{as},,xto0}underbrace{left(frac{sinleft(pi sin^2(x/2)right)}{pisin^2(x/2)}right)}_{to 1,,text{as},,xto0}\\
    end{align}$$



    Therefore, we find that



    $$lim_{xto0}frac{cosleft(fracpi2 cos(x)right)}{x^2}=fracpi4$$

          $$cos(x)=1-frac{x^2}{2}+Oleft(x^4right)$$
          $$cos left(frac{pi}{2} cos (x)right)=sin left(frac{pi }{4}x^2+Oleft(x^4right)right)$$ The next step is simple.

              Using $frac{1-cos(x)}{2}=sin^2(x/2)$ and $lim_{tto 0}frac{sin(t)}{t}=1$, we can write



              $$begin{align}
              frac{cosleft(fracpi2 cos(x)right)}{x^2}&=frac{sinleft(pi sin^2(x/2)right)}{x^2}\\
              &=fracpi4underbrace{left(frac{sin(x/2)}{x/2}right)^2}_{to1,,text{as},,xto0}underbrace{left(frac{sinleft(pi sin^2(x/2)right)}{pisin^2(x/2)}right)}_{to 1,,text{as},,xto0}\\
              end{align}$$



              Therefore, we find that



              $$lim_{xto0}frac{cosleft(fracpi2 cos(x)right)}{x^2}=fracpi4$$
