l i m n → ∞ ∑ k = 1 n n 3 n 4 ( 1 + k 2 n 2 ) ( 1 + 3 k 2 n 2 )

= l i m n → ∞ 1 n ∑ k − 1 n 1 ( 1 + k 2 n 2 ) ( 1 + 3 k 2 n 2 )

= ∫ 0 1 d x 3 ( 1 + x 2 ) ( 1 3 + x 2 )

= ∫ 0 1 1 3 × 3 2 ( x 2 + 1 ) − ( x 2 + 1 3 ) ( 1 + x 2 ) ( x 2 + 1 3 ) d x

= 1 2 [ 3 t a n − 1 ( 3 x ) ] 0 1 − 1 2 ( t a n − 1 x ) 0 1

= 3 2 ( π 3 ) − 1 2 ( π 4 ) = π 2 3 − π 8

Lt? →? x/ (1−sinx)¹/? − (1+sinx)¹/? )
= 2x/ (1−sinx)¹/? − (1+sinx)¹/? ) Multiply by conjugate
= 4x/ (1−sinx)¹/²− (1+sinx)¹/²) Multiply by conjugate
= 8x/ (1−sinx−1−sinx) Multiply by conjugate
= 4x/sinx = −4

lim (x→0) [a e? - b cos (x) + c e? ] / (x sin (x) = 2
Using Taylor expansions around x=0:
lim (x→0) [a (1+x+x²/2!+.) - b (1-x²/2!+.) + c (1-x+x²/2!+.)] / (x * x) = 2
lim (x→0) [ (a-b+c) + x (a-c) + x² (a/2+b/2+c/2) + O (x³)] / x² = 2
For the limit to exist, the coefficients of lower powers of x in the n

Let t = 3^ (x/2). As x→2, t→3^ (2/2) = 3.
The limit becomes lim (t→3) [ (t² + 27/t²) - 12 ] / [ (t - 3²/t) ].
lim (t→3) [ (t? - 12t² + 27)/t² ] / [ (t² - 9)/t ].
lim (t→3) [ (t²-9) (t²-3) / t² ] * [ t / (t²-9) ].
lim (t→3) [ (t²-3) / t ].
Substituting t=3: (3²-3)/3 = (9-3)/3 = 6.
(The provided solution a

P (x) = 0
x² - x - 2 = 0
(x-2) (x+1) = 0
x = 2, -1 ∴ α = 2
Now lim (x→2? ) (√ (1-cos (x²-x-2) / (x-2)
⇒ lim (x→2? ) (√ (2sin² (x²-x-2)/2) / (x-2)
⇒ lim (x→2? ) (√2 sin (x²-x-2)/2) / (x²-x-2)/2) ⋅ (x²-x-2)/2) ⋅ (1/ (x-2)
⇒ for x→2? , (x²-x-2)/2 → 0?
⇒ lim (x→2? ) √2 ⋅ 1 ⋅ (x-2) (x+1)/ (2 (x-2) = 3/√2

Applying L'Hôpital's Rule
Lim (t→x) [2tf² (x) – x² (2f (t)f' (t)] / 1
∴ 2xf² (x) – x² (2f (x)f' (x) = 0
⇒ f (x) – xf' (x) = 0
⇒ f' (x)/f (x) = 1/x ⇒ lnf (x) = lnx + C
At x=1, c=1
∴ lnf (x) = lnx + 1
when f (x) = 1
then lnx = -1
x = 1/e

lim? →? (1/3 (a+2x)? ²/³2 - 1/3 (3x)? ²/³3) / (1/3 (3a+x)? ²/³1 - 1/3 (4x)? ²/³4)
= (1/3 (3a)? ²/³ (2-3) / (1/3 (4a)? ²/³ (1-4) = (3? ²/³)/ (4? ²/³) * 1/3
= (2? /³)/ (9¹/³) * 1/3 * 2/3 (1/9)¹/³

lim_ (x→0) (1/x? ) {1 - cos (x²/2) - cos (x²/4) + cos (x²/2)cos (x²/4)} = 2?
⇒ lim_ (x→0) ( (1 - cos (x²/2) (1 - cos (x²/4) / x? ) = 2?
⇒ 2? = 2? ⇒ k = 8
