Question Number 193863 by horsebrand11 last updated on 21/Jun/23

   lim_(x→0)  ((1−(1/2)x^2 −cos ((x/(1−x^2 ))))/x^4 ) =?

$$\:\:\:\underset{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }\right)}{\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{4}} }\:=? \\ $$

u→0⇒1−cosu ∼ (1/2)u^2   ⇒lim_(x→0)  ((1−cos((x/(1−x^2 )))−(1/2)x^2 )/x^4 )    =lim_(x→0)   (((1/2)((x/(1−x^2 )))^2  −(1/2)x^2 )/x^4 )  =lim_(x→0)  (((1/2)((1/((1−x^2 )^2 ))−1))/x^2 )  =lim_(x→0)  ((2x^2 −x^4 )/(2x^2 (1−x^2 )^2 ))=  =lim_(x→0)  ((2−x^2 )/(2(1−x^2 )^2 ))= 1 ✓

1 = wrong

$$\mathrm{1}\:=\:\mathrm{wrong} \\ $$

answer is ((23)/(24))

$$\mathrm{answer}\:\mathrm{is}\:\frac{\mathrm{23}}{\mathrm{24}} \\ $$
