Exam questions on Limits using Maclaurin series and L'Hopital's rule

  1. Let L=lim⁡x→01−cos⁡2xx2L=\lim_{x\to0}\dfrac{1-\cos2x}{x^2}.
    Use the Maclaurin series for cos⁡x\cos x to find the value of LL.2 marks
  2. Let M=lim⁡x→∞x2exM=\lim_{x\to\infty}\dfrac{x^2}{\mathrm{e}^{x}}.
    Show how applying l'Hôpital's rule twice gives your answer to (b).2 marks
  3. Let F(x)=sin⁡x−xcos⁡xx3F(x)=\dfrac{\sin x-x\cos x}{x^3} for x≠0x\ne0.
    Use Maclaurin series to find lim⁡x→0F(x)\lim_{x\to0}F(x).3 marks
